AMD EPYC 7543

AMD is the manufacturer. This processor belongs to the EPYC 7003 series, designed to compete with Intel Xeon Scalable "Ice Lake" processors in enterprise environments.

The PassMark score of over 66,000 indicates its massive multi-threaded capability. This score places it in the elite tier of processors capable of handling heavy parallel compute tasks without bottlenecking.

With 32 physical cores and 64 threads, it is optimized for "VM Density." This allows an IT department to run dozens of separate Virtual Machines on a single physical server efficiently

This CPU does not have a built-in graphics processor. In servers, a basic 2D graphics chip on the motherboard usually provides the video output for management consoles.

"Server Class" means this chip is built for 24/7 reliability. It includes enterprise-grade security features like AMD Infinity Guard, which provides hardware-level encryption to protect data while it is being processed.

Rated at 225W, it is a high-power component that requires enterprise-grade cooling (large heat sinks and high-airflow fans). The "Configurable TDP" (cTDP) allows it to be pushed to 240W for extra performance.

A base speed of 2.8 GHz ensures high steady-state performance.

The 3.7 GHz turbo boost allows the processor to react quickly to sudden spikes in user demand or data processing requests.

It uses the SP3 socket. This is a large LGA (Land Grid Array) socket with 4,094 pins. It is a mature platform, meaning there is a wide range of compatible motherboards and server chassis available.

The 256 MB L3 cache is one of its strongest features. This massive "on-chip" memory allows the CPU to store large datasets very close to the cores, drastically reducing the time it takes to fetch data from the RAM.

It supports 8-channel DDR4 memory. This multi-channel architecture provides massive data throughput (over 204 GB/s), ensuring that the 32 cores are never "starved" for data.
