Processing Power

The EPYC 7773X is a 64-core / 128-thread processor based on the Milan-X (2022) architecture, manufactured on a 7 nm process node. It reaches a maximum boost clock of 3.5 GHz from a base frequency of 2.2 GHz— higher boost clocks directly translate to better single-threaded performance and responsiveness in gaming. With a massive 768 MB (total) L3 cache (3D V-Cache technology), this processor has a significant gaming advantage — the large cache drastically reduces memory latency in game engines., plus 512K (per core) of L2 cache and 64K (per core) of L1 cache per core. In the PassMark benchmark (a comprehensive multi-threaded test), it scores 91,340, placing it in the Enthusiast performance tier as a Aging generation product. Geekbench 6 single-core (the most relevant metric for gaming FPS) records 1,536, while multi-core reaches 45,000.
