The AMD EPYC 7502P is a powerful single-socket-optimized server processor in the AMD EPYC 7002 Series, aimed at data centers and enterprises that want maximum core density and performance in a cost-effective 1P configuration. Built on AMD’s 7 nm “Rome” architecture with Zen 2 cores, it is designed for heavily virtualized environments, private and public clouds, and compute-intensive workloads where a single high-core CPU can replace traditional dual-socket platforms. This makes the EPYC 7502P particularly attractive for service providers and organizations seeking to simplify server designs, reduce licensing costs, and achieve high performance-per-socket for modern IT infrastructures.
Featuring 32 cores and 64 threads with a 2.50 GHz base clock and boost frequencies up to about 3.35 GHz, the EPYC 7502P delivers substantial multi-threaded throughput for virtual machines, containers, large application servers, and parallel workloads. The processor includes 128 MB of L3 cache and supports 8‑channel DDR4‑3200 ECC memory, providing ample memory capacity and bandwidth for memory-intensive applications like databases, analytics platforms, and in-memory caching tiers. With up to 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes directly from the CPU, it enables rich configurations of NVMe SSDs, high-speed network adapters, and accelerator or GPU cards, making it ideal for storage-rich, network-intensive, or GPU-accelerated server designs.
As part of the EPYC family, the AMD EPYC 7502P integrates hardware-level security features under the AMD Infinity Guard umbrella, including secure encrypted virtualization to help isolate virtual machines and protect sensitive workloads in multi-tenant environments. Its 180 W TDP, combined with the efficiency of the 7 nm process, allows data centers to achieve high levels of compute density within reasonable power and cooling envelopes, contributing to a lower total cost of ownership over the server lifecycle. Overall, the EPYC 7502P is an excellent choice for single-socket servers that need to handle dense virtualization, cloud-native applications, and high-throughput enterprise workloads while maintaining a simplified and cost-efficient platform.
