AMD® EPYC™ 7453

The AMD EPYC 7453 is a server processor with 28 cores and 56 threads, built on the Zen 3 architecture. It launched in Mar 2021. Clocks run from 2.75 GHz base to 3.45 GHz boost. A 64-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.9 MB per core). It supports DDR4 memory. The chip drops into the SP3 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (128 lanes). Rated TDP is 225 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMD-V (Hardware Virtualization), AMD SEV.

The AMD EPYC 7453 scores 2,533 in single-core performance and 48,453 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 11,078 for overall performance, 35,041 for productivity performance, 31,209 for creator performance, 64,806 for engineering performance and 19,712 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,730 per core, 865 per thread and 215 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 739. Its performance index is 137, so its overall performance is 37% 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 7453 scores 238,929 in integer math, 131,108 in floating-point math, 917,246 in compression, 59,495 in cryptography, 2,396 in physics simulation, 51,500 in vector SIMD, 165 in the prime sieve and 78,116 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 306% above in integer math, 186% above in floating-point math, 302% above in compression, 418% above in cryptography, 120% above in physics simulation, 232% above in vector SIMD, 146% above in the prime sieve and 245% 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 7453 has 28 physical cores and runs 56 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.75 GHz and boosts up to 3.45 GHz.

The AMD EPYC 7453 is a server processor, belongs to the AMD EPYC family and uses the Zen 3 architecture. It launched in Mar 2021.

The AMD EPYC 7453 has 3.50 MB of L1 cache, 14 MB of L2 cache and 64 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 81.5 MB of cache, or 2.91 MB per core. Each core has 512 KB of private L2 cache.

The AMD EPYC 7453 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 3.5 MB, L2 at 14 MB and L3 at 64 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 79% of the cache listed here.

The AMD EPYC 7453 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 7453 does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The AMD EPYC 7453 uses the SP3 socket, supports PCI Express 4.0 and provides up to 128 PCIe lanes.

The AMD EPYC 7453 has a rated TDP of 225 W.
