Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The AMD EPYC 7272 has proven to be a very robust processor for server applications. This chip, a product of the Rome generation, is based on the Zen 2 architecture. At its introduction, it brought with it truly remarkable characteristics. We were able to observe how the manufacturing process, using the then state-of-the-art 7-nm process, led to excellent energy efficiency.

This is especially important for data centers, where every watt counts. Another crucial feature was the early support for PCIe 4.0. This interface enabled significantly faster data transfer. This allowed data to be moved quickly to expansion cards and fast NVMe storage. That was a real advantage at the time.

Equipped with 64 MB of Level 3 cache, the AMD EPYC 7272 could handle data-intensive workloads very effectively. A maximum memory bandwidth of 51 GB/s ensured a smooth flow of information. Overall, the AMD EPYC 7272 remains a reliable choice. Anyone looking for a proven and stable platform will still find a solid foundation here.

Its strengths clearly lie in the consistent delivery of performance for a variety of tasks.
