Processor AMD EPYC 7573X 2.8 GHz 768 MB L3 Socket SP3

The AMD EPYC 7573X is a server-grade processor operating at a base frequency of 2.8 GHz with a boost up to 3.6 GHz and 32 cores. It includes 768 MB of L3 cache and fits the Socket SP3 platform. With octa-channel DDR4 memory support and a maximum memory bandwidth of 204.8 GB/s, this CPU is built for data-centre workloads and high-performance server applications that require sustained multi-threaded processing.

Advantages

The processor combines a large 768 MB L3 cache with 32 cores and high memory throughput, enabling efficient handling of parallel workloads and reduced latency for data-intensive tasks. Compatibility with Socket SP3 and support for octa-channel DDR4 memory provide scalable memory capacity and bandwidth for virtualization, databases, and compute clusters. AMD Infinity Guard and AMD Infinity Architecture technologies add hardware-level protections and unified intelligence for secure and reliable operation.
