AMD 100-000000054 EPYC 7502 32-Core Server Processor

The AMD EPYC 7502 (100-000000054) is a 32-core, 64-thread server processor built on AMD's 7nm Zen 2 "Rome" architecture. Positioned in the mid-to-upper tier of the EPYC Rome family, the 7502 is designed for enterprise server environments where parallel compute performance and memory bandwidth are critical. Its 128MB of L3 cache — spread across the chiplet design — helps minimize trips to main memory for frequently accessed data, which is particularly beneficial in virtualization scenarios where multiple workloads compete for cache resources. The processor's 3.35 GHz boost clock provides additional headroom for bursty workloads, while the 180W TDP keeps power consumption manageable for dense rack deployments.

The SP3 socket platform gives the EPYC 7502 access to 8 channels of DDR4 memory and 128 lanes of PCIe 4.0, providing the bandwidth needed for NVMe storage arrays, high-speed networking, and GPU accelerators. This makes the 7502 a versatile choice for use cases ranging from database hosting and software-defined storage to high-performance computing and cloud infrastructure. While newer EPYC generations have since raised the performance ceiling, the Rome 7502 remains a proven and cost-effective option for organizations building or expanding server infrastructure on the SP3 platform.
