Overview
SummaryThe AMD EPYC 7H12 is a server processor with 64 cores and 128 threads. It launched in Sep 2019. Clocks run from 2.6 GHz base to 3.3 GHz boost. It supports DDR4 memory. The chip drops into the SP3 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (128 lanes). Rated TDP is 280 W.
Performance
12 metricsThe AMD EPYC 7H12 scores 1,774 in single-core performance and 69,633 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 11,114 for overall performance, 47,745 for productivity performance, 41,491 for creator performance, 97,486 for engineering performance and 22,730 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,088 per core, 544 per thread and 249 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 664. Its performance index is 138, so its overall performance is 38% 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.
Workload sub-scores (integer math, floating point, compression, encryption, physics, SIMD, prime sieve and sorting) are not recorded for the AMD EPYC 7H12.
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.
