AMD® EPYC™ 73F3

The AMD EPYC 73F3 is a server processor with 16 cores and 32 threads, built on the Zen 3 architecture. It launched in Mar 2021. Clocks run from 3.5 GHz base to 4.0 GHz boost. A 256-MB L3 cache backs the cores (16.6 MB per core). It supports DDR4 memory. The chip drops into the SP3 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (128 lanes). Rated TDP is 240 W.

The AMD EPYC 73F3 scores 2,883 in single-core performance and 46,103 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 11,529 for overall performance, 34,003 for productivity performance, 30,546 for creator performance, 53,018 for engineering performance and 20,175 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,881 per core, 1,441 per thread and 192 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 744. Its performance index is 143, so its overall performance is 43% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the AMD EPYC 73F3 scores 172,125 in integer math, 91,578 in floating-point math, 606,357 in compression, 37,347 in cryptography, 5,951 in physics simulation, 39,152 in vector SIMD, 330 in the prime sieve and 63,988 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 192% above in integer math, 100% above in floating-point math, 166% above in compression, 225% above in cryptography, 446% above in physics simulation, 152% above in vector SIMD, 393% above in the prime sieve and 182% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The AMD EPYC 73F3 has 16 physical cores and runs 32 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.50 GHz and boosts up to 4.00 GHz.

The AMD EPYC 73F3 is a server processor, belongs to the AMD EPYC family and uses the Zen 3 architecture. It launched in Mar 2021.

The AMD EPYC 73F3 has 1 MB of L1 cache, 8 MB of L2 cache and 256 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 265.0 MB of cache, or 16.56 MB per core. Each core has 512 KB of private L2 cache.

The AMD EPYC 73F3 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 1 MB, L2 at 8 MB and L3 at 256 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 97% of the cache listed here.

The AMD EPYC 73F3 supports DDR4 memory, uses 8 memory channels, runs memory at up to 3,200 MT/s and delivers up to 204.8 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It does not support DDR5 and LPDDR memory.

The AMD EPYC 73F3 does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The AMD EPYC 73F3 uses the SP3 socket, supports PCI Express 4.0 and provides up to 128 PCIe lanes.

The AMD EPYC 73F3 has a rated TDP of 240 W.
