It’s been a number of months since AMD first introduced their new third era EPYC Milan server CPU line-up. We had initially reviewed the primary SKUS again in March, overlaying the core density optimised 64-core EPYC 7763, EPYC 7713 and the core-performance optimised 32-core EPYC 75F3. Since then, we’ve ben in a position to get our palms on a number of new mid and decrease finish SKUs within the type of the brand new 24-core EPYC 7443, the 16-core 7343, in addition to the very curious 8-core EPYC 72F3 which we’ll be reviewing in the present day.
What’s additionally modified since our preliminary assessment again in March, is the discharge of Intel’s newer 3rd era Xeon Scalable processors (Ice Lake SP) with our assessment of the 40-core Xeon 8330 and 28-core Xeon 6330.
Today’s assessment will probably be centered across the new efficiency numbers of AMD’s EPYC CPUs, for a extra complete platform and structure overview I extremely suggest studying our respective preliminary critiques which go into extra element of the present server CPU panorama:
What’s New: EPYC 7443, 7343, 72F3 Low Core Count SKUs
In phrases of recent SKUs that we’re testing in the present day, as talked about, we’ll be taking a look at AMD new EPYC 7443, 7343 in addition to the 72F3, mid- to low core-count SKUs that come at rather more reasonably priced worth tags in comparison with the flagship models we had initially reviewed again in March. As a part of the brand new platform change, we’ll cowl in a bit, we’re additionally re-reviewing the 64-core EPYC 7763 and the 32-core EPYC 75F3 – leading to a number of surprises and resolving a number of the points we’ve recognized with 3rd era Milan in our first assessment.

| EPYC 72F3 | 8 / 16 | 3700 | 4100 | 180 W | $2468 | |
Starting off with in all probability the weirdest CPU in AMD’s EPYC 7003 line-up, the brand new 72F3 is kind of the speciality half within the type of it being an 8-core server CPU, but nonetheless that includes the utmost accessible platform capabilities in addition to the complete 256MB of L3 cache. AMD achieves this by basically populating the half with Eight chiplet dies with every a full 32MB of L3 cache, however just one core enabled per die. This permits the half (for a server half) comparatively excessive base frequency of three.7GHz, boosting as much as 4.1GHz and touchdown with a TDP of 180W, with the half costing $2468.
The unit is a fairly excessive case of SKU segmentation and focuses on deployments the place per-core efficiency is paramount, or additionally use-cases the place per-core software program licenses vastly outweigh the price of the precise {hardware}. We’re additionally re-reviewing the 32-core 75F3 on this core-performance optimised household, that includes as much as 32 cores, however going for a lot increased 280W TDPs.

In the core-density optimised collection, we’re persevering with on utilizing the 64-core EPYC 7763 flagship SKU which lands in at 280W TDP and a excessive value of $7890 MSRP. Unfortunately, we now not have entry to the EPYC 7713 so we couldn’t re-review this half, and benchmark numbers from this SKU on this assessment will carry ahead our older scores, additionally being aptly labelled as such in our graphs.
