Processing Power

The EPYC 7313 is a 16-core / 32-thread processor based on the Milan (2021−2023) architecture, manufactured on a 7 nm+ process node. It reaches a maximum boost clock of 3.7 GHz from a base frequency of 3 GHz— higher boost clocks directly translate to better single-threaded performance and responsiveness in gaming. With a massive 128 MB (total) L3 cache (3D V-Cache technology), this processor has a significant gaming advantage — the large cache drastically reduces memory latency in game engines., plus 512 kB (per core) of L2 cache and 64 kB (per core) of L1 cache per core. In the PassMark benchmark (a comprehensive multi-threaded test), it scores 38,938, placing it in the High-End performance tier as a Aging generation product. Geekbench 6 single-core (the most relevant metric for gaming FPS) records 1,736, while multi-core reaches 15,264. Cinebench R23 multi-core (measuring sustained rendering workload performance) scores 26,500.
