Overview
SummaryThe AMD EPYC 7662 is a server processor with 64 cores and 128 threads, built on the Zen 2 architecture. It launched in Aug 2019. Clocks run from 2.0 GHz base to 3.3 GHz boost. A 256-MB L3 cache backs the cores (4.6 MB per core). It supports DDR4 memory. The chip drops into the SP3 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (128 lanes). Rated TDP is 225 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMD-V (Hardware Virtualization), AMD SEV.
Performance
12 metricsThe AMD EPYC 7662 scores 2,102 in single-core performance and 72,298 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 12,328 for overall performance, 49,937 for productivity performance, 43,548 for creator performance, 101,217 for engineering performance and 24,381 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,130 per core, 565 per thread and 321 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 822. Its performance index is 153, so its overall performance is 53% 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 7662 scores 396,692 in integer math, 229,270 in floating-point math, 1,473,281 in compression, 110,044 in cryptography, 6,710 in physics simulation, 80,798 in vector SIMD, 541 in the prime sieve and 175,277 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 574% above in integer math, 400% above in floating-point math, 546% above in compression, 858% above in cryptography, 516% above in physics simulation, 421% above in vector SIMD, 707% above in the prime sieve and 674% 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.
