Amd epyc 7662 and epyc 7532 join the epyc 'rome' family

Product diversity is important, and AMD knows it. In order to offer its customers the best performance at the right price, the chipmaker has expanded its stack of EPYC 7002 series products (code name Rome) with the EPYC 7662 and EPYC 7532 models.

AMD EPYC 7662 and EPYC 7532 join the EPYC 'Rome' family

EPYC 7662 and EPYC 7532 are made from the same ingredients as AMD's other EPYC Rome. They leverage the company's Zen 2 microarchitecture and TSMC's innovative 7nm FinFET manufacturing process.

The two new processors also use the same socket as their siblings in the series, socket P3. Both come with support for up to eight channels of DDR4-3200 memory. They also offer 128 ultra-fast PCIe 4.0 tracks to fully exploit the latest PCIe 4.0 SSDs and graphics cards.

The EPYC 7662 is the fifth 64-core, 128-thread piece of AMD's arsenal. The company is positioning this piece as an entry model. In addition to the generous number of cores, the EPYC 7662 also features 256MB of L3 cache. The 64-core chip uses a base clock of 2 GHz and a maximum boost clock of 3.35 GHz. This processor has a power design of 225W TDP.

Model	CORES / threads	Base / Boost (GHz)	L3 Cache (MB)	TDP (W)
7H12	64/128	2.60 / 3.30	256	280
7742	64/128	2.25 / 3.40	256	225
7702	64/128	2.00 / 3.35	256	200
7702P	64/128	2.00 / 3.35	256	200
7662	64/128	2.00 / 3.35	256	225
7542	32/64	2.90 / 3.40	128	225
7532	32/64	2.40 / 3.30	256	200
7502	32/64	2.50 / 3.35	128	180
7502P	32/64	2.50 / 3.35	128	180
7452	32/64	2.35 / 3.35	128	155

The EPYC 7532 model retains the 32-core, 64-wire configuration, the processor comes with a big surprise under the hood.

AMD has unlocked the EPYC 7532 and retains the 256MB of L3 cache, double that of the other 32-core EPYC chips. The added L3 cache should be extremely useful in cache intensive workloads such as ANSYS CFX. AMD boasts that the EPYC 7532 offers up to 111% more performance than Intel's Xeon Gold 6248, which has a 12-core disadvantage.

The EPYC 7532 has a base clock of 2.4 GHz and a maximum boost clock of 3.3 GHz. The chip operates within the 200W limit.

Companies like Dell and Supermicro will be the first to use EPYC 7662 and EPYC 7532 in their products. AMD expects HPE and Lenovo to follow suit in the coming months.
