AMD® EPYC™ 7F72

The AMD EPYC 7F72 is a server processor with 24 cores and 48 threads. It launched in Apr 2020. Clocks run from 3.2 GHz base to 3.7 GHz boost. A 192-MB L3 cache backs the cores (8.6 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 7F72 scores 2,358 in single-core performance and 52,143 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 11,088 for overall performance, 37,194 for productivity performance, 32,923 for creator performance, 66,482 for engineering performance and 20,110 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,173 per core, 1,086 per thread and 217 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 716. 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 7F72 scores 180,236 in integer math, 107,814 in floating-point math, 805,990 in compression, 55,766 in cryptography, 6,127 in physics simulation, 47,162 in vector SIMD, 499 in the prime sieve and 101,350 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 206% above in integer math, 135% above in floating-point math, 253% above in compression, 385% above in cryptography, 462% above in physics simulation, 204% above in vector SIMD, 645% above in the prime sieve and 347% 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 7F72 has 24 physical cores and runs 48 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.20 GHz and boosts up to 3.70 GHz.

The AMD EPYC 7F72 is a server processor and belongs to the AMD EPYC family. It launched in Apr 2020.

The AMD EPYC 7F72 has 1.50 MB of L1 cache, 12 MB of L2 cache and 192 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 205.5 MB of cache, or 8.56 MB per core. Each core has 512 KB of private L2 cache.

The AMD EPYC 7F72 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 1.5 MB, L2 at 12 MB and L3 at 192 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 93% of the cache listed here.

The AMD EPYC 7F72 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 7F72 uses the SP3 socket, supports PCI Express 4.0 and provides up to 128 PCIe lanes.

The AMD EPYC 7F72 has a rated TDP of 240 W.
