AMD EPYC 7K62

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is a leading global semiconductor company known for designing and developing high-performance computing and visualization products.

With a PassMark score near 60,000, it is an incredibly powerful multi-threaded performer.

It features 48 physical cores and 96 threads. This is a "sweet spot" for many server admins, providing more power than 32-core models without the extreme price tag of the 64-core 7742.

Like all EPYC processors, it has no integrated GPU. Video output is handled by the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) chip on the server motherboard.

Server / Enterprise (Custom/Cloud Optimized)

The 240W TDP is relatively high, requiring a server-grade cooling solution (high-speed fans in a rackmount chassis) to maintain stable performance under full load.

It has a solid 2.6 GHz base clock, which is higher than many high-core-count server CPUs, ensuring good performance even when all cores are under heavy use.

Up to 3.3 GHz

It uses the AMD SP3 socket. It is compatible with most 2nd and 3rd Gen EPYC motherboards (like those from Supermicro, Tyan, or ASRock Rack), though a BIOS update is often necessary

The 192 MB L3 cache helps the processor manage massive amounts of data efficiently, reducing the "bottleneck" between the CPU and the system RAM.

It supports 8-channel DDR4 memory. This allows for massive bandwidth, ensuring that all 48 cores can access data simultaneously without slowing down.
