8-core EPYC 72F3 for single-socket servers

The AMD EPYC 72F3 is an 8-core, 16-thread server processor built on the Milan architecture using a 7 nm process. It operates at a base frequency of 3.7 GHz with a maximum turbo frequency of 4.1 GHz. The chip fits the SP3 socket and has a thermal design power of 180 W. A cooling device is not included.

Suits density-focused workloads.

This processor suits deployments that prioritise high per-core frequency and large L3 cache within a modest core count. It supports 8-channel DDR4 3200 memory and 128 lanes of PCI Express 4.0 for extensive I/O. Buyers who need higher core density per socket or lower power envelopes should evaluate other SKUs in the same generation.

256 MB L3 cache and 8 memory channels for large

The 256 MB L3 cache provides a high hit rate for latency-sensitive applications and virtualisation workloads. Eight memory channels deliver substantial bandwidth for in-memory databases and compute tasks. The 180 W TDP and 8-core limit mean the chip reaches its compute ceiling before fully saturating the platform's 128 PCIe lanes in heavily accelerated configurations.

Questions about this item

What motherboard socket do I need for the AMD EPYC 72F3 SP3 processor?

You need a motherboard with a Socket SP3 to install this 8-core 3.7 GHz CPU.

Can I reuse my existing DDR4-3200 memory modules with this 8-channel processor?

Yes, the integrated memory controller supports DDR4 3200 speeds across all eight channels.

How can I verify the 256 MB L3 cache is active after installation?

Check the L3 cache size in BIOS or use a tool like lscpu to confirm 256 MB is reported.
