Overview
SummaryThe AMD EPYC 7443 is a server processor with 24 cores and 48 threads, built on the Zen 3 architecture. It launched in Mar 2021. Clocks run from 2.85 GHz base to 4.0 GHz boost. A 128-MB L3 cache backs the cores (5.9 MB per core). It supports DDR4 memory. Rated TDP is 200 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMD-V (Hardware Virtualization), AMD SEV.
Performance
12 metricsThe AMD EPYC 7443 scores 2,927 in single-core performance and 56,743 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 12,887 for overall performance, 40,981 for productivity performance, 36,477 for creator performance, 72,347 for engineering performance and 22,967 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,364 per core, 1,182 per thread and 284 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 911. Its performance index is 160, so its overall performance is 60% 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.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
Workload Benchmarks
8 workloadsScores 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 7443 scores 228,486 in integer math, 126,459 in floating-point math, 822,116 in compression, 56,396 in cryptography, 5,019 in physics simulation, 46,165 in vector SIMD, 408 in the prime sieve and 94,709 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 288% above in integer math, 176% above in floating-point math, 260% above in compression, 391% above in cryptography, 360% above in physics simulation, 198% above in vector SIMD, 509% above in the prime sieve and 318% 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.
