Processing Power

The EPYC 7532 is a 32-core / 64-thread processor based on the Zen 2 (2017−2020) architecture, manufactured on a 7 nm, 14 nm process node. It reaches a maximum boost clock of 3.3 GHz from a base frequency of 2.4 GHz— higher boost clocks directly translate to better single-threaded performance and responsiveness in gaming. With a massive 256 MB L3 cache (3D V-Cache technology), this processor has a significant gaming advantage — the large cache drastically reduces memory latency in game engines., plus 16 MB of L2 cache and 2 MB of L1 cache per core. In the PassMark benchmark (a comprehensive multi-threaded test), it scores 50,726, placing it in the Enthusiast performance tier as a Aging generation product.
