Add 16 physical CPU cores and 32 processing threads to a compatible SP3 server platform. The AMD EPYC 7301 operates at a 2.2 GHz base clock and includes 64 MB of L3 cache, providing substantial parallel execution resources for virtual machines, application services, databases and distributed compute tasks. Its 170 W thermal design power places it in the higher-power segment of the first-generation AMD EPYC processor range. Eight memory channels support DDR4 memory at up to 2,666 MHz, helping the processor maintain memory bandwidth across core-heavy workloads. The architecture supports up to 2 TB of system memory, allowing dense virtual-machine hosts and in-memory applications to scale capacity without reducing the available channel count. With 128 PCIe 3.0 lanes, the processor also supplies direct expansion capacity for storage controllers, high-speed network adapters and accelerator hardware. Cisco UCS-CPU-7301= supplies the socketed AMD EPYC 7301 processor for server configurations that require this specific core count, cache capacity and power profile. The processor uses the SP3 socket and supports one- and two-socket server architectures. Select it where 16 cores, 32 threads, eight memory channels and broad PCIe connectivity match the compute and I/O requirements of the host platform.
