AMD EPYC 7543P Benchmark

AMD EPYC 7543P

The EPYC 7543P is a 32 core CPU from AMD released in 2021. This chip has an amazing overall score at 111% in our CPU benchmark. Our gaming benchmark shows that this CPU is a very good processor for gaming, with a score of 56%. As for multitasking and heavy workloads, the EPYC 7543P scores 132% and 145% respectively. Indeed, this is an incredible rating for very heavy workloads.

The EPYC 7543P has 32 cores and 64 threads. This CPU makes use of simultaneous multithreading technology to improve performance on parallel tasks. Each physical CPU core is divided into multiple logical processors. This AMD CPU has a clock speed of 2.8 GHz and a turbo speed of 3.7 GHz : a higher clock speed that can be reached when thermals and power delivery allow. This CPU has a locked multiplier, so you are not able to overclock it beyond this frequency.

As for memory, the EPYC 7543P makes use of DDR4 memory. The faster the memory, the better. Faster memory means that the CPU doesn't have to wait to get the data it needs. Furthermore, this chip can handle up to 8 channels of RAM, a multichannel memory architecture allows for higher data transfer between the CPU and the memory. However, to take advantage of this, you must have enough memory slots filled.

In terms of cache, the EPYC 7543P has 2048 KiB of level 1 cache, 16 MiB of level 2 cache and 256 MiB of level 3 cache. This is a fast memory located close to the processor, which stores copies of frequently used data from main memory.

This CPU has fast connectivity with support for PCI-Express Gen 4. The faster the PCIe link, the better. This allows for better performance with GPUs and NVME SSDs.

Power and thermals for the AMD EPYC 7543P CPU are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 225 watts. This measures the amount of heat the processor produces when running at full load. This isn't a measure of power consumption, but it's good estimate.
