AMD EPYC 7742 64-Core Server Processor 2.25GHz SP3 Socket 225W TDP

Redefine Data Center Economics with the AMD EPYC 7742

The AMD EPYC 7742 is not just a processor; it’s a platform for innovation. Built on the industry-leading 7nm process and Zen 

2 core architecture, this 64-core/128-thread powerhouse was designed to consolidate workloads, accelerate simulations, and 

empower next-generation cloud services. It represents the pinnacle of the “Rome” generation, offering record-breaking multi-threaded

 performance that challenges and often surpasses competing dual-socket systems, all within a single socket.

Engineered for Extreme Parallelism:

• Unmatched Core Density: With 64 cores and 128 threads, the EPYC 7742 delivers exceptional throughput for scale-out applications,

• allowing you to run more virtual machines, containers, and parallel processes per server.

• Vast Cache Hierarchy: Features a massive 256MB of L3 cache, dramatically reducing memory latency and accelerating performance

• for data-intensive workloads like financial modeling, scientific simulations, and large-scale databases.

• Next-Generation I/O: As the world’s first server CPU with PCIe 4.0 support, it doubles the I/O bandwidth compared to PCIe 3.0,

• enabling faster storage (NVMe SSDs) and networking (InfiniBand, high-speed Ethernet) for data-heavy pipelines.

• Balanced Power Profile: A 225W TDP ensures this immense computational power is delivered with remarkable efficiency,

• optimizing performance-per-watt and helping to control total cost of ownership (TCO) in large deployments.

Dominant in Key Workloads:

• Cloud & Hyperscale Computing: Maximize tenant density and infrastructure ROI by hosting more cloud instances on fewer physical servers.

• High-Performance Computing (HPC): Achieve faster time-to-results in computational fluid dynamics (CFD),

• finite element analysis (FEA), genomic sequencing, and weather forecasting.

• Enterprise Virtualization: Consolidate sprawling legacy server farms into a streamlined, powerful, and easier-to-manage virtual infrastructure.

• Software-Defined Storage & Big Data: Leverage the high core count and PCIe 4.0 bandwidth to process and serve massive datasets with ease.

• Content Creation & Rendering: Drastically reduce render times for complex 3D animation, visual effects, and video production.

Platform & Compatibility:

• Socket: SP3 (Socket P3). Compatible with motherboards designed for AMD EPYC 7002 (Rome) and 7001 (Naples) series, offering a seamless upgrade path. 

• Please verify motherboard BIOS support for Rome processors.

• Memory: Supports 8-channel DDR4-3200 memory, delivering exceptional memory bandwidth to feed all 64 cores.

• Security: Includes advanced, hardware-based security features like AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) and AMD Infinity Guard.
