At STH, we now have dozens of reviews for the AMD EPYC family of processors and the platforms they power. With all of the excitement we have seen on STH around the AMD EPYC 7002 series, we wanted to put all of the content in one place that our readers can quickly search through.
AMD EPYC 7002 Series Delivers a Knockout
The AMD EPYC 7002 series, formerly called “Rome” has generated an enormous amount of industry buzz. If the first generation EPYC, the 7001 or “Naples” put AMD in a close race with Intel, the AMD EPYC 7002 generation catapulted AMD to higher core counts, higher performance, more memory bandwidth, and more I/O throughput than Intel has in the market. Most impressive is that AMD did this while lowering prices for customers who have been squeezed by Intel pricing practices for the past decade. We called it a “knockout” and you can read our in-depth analysis of performance and the market impact here:

AMD EPYC 7002 CPU Reviews on STH
In this generation, AMD has five single-socket only parts. These “P” series parts are special because they leverage the platform’s unique I/O capabilities to deliver industry-leading single-socket performance equivalent to Intel’s dual-socket Xeon performance. What is more, AMD is incentivizing the single socket market with aggressive pricing on these SKUs:

AMD EPYC Platform Reviews on STH
AMD promised that its first-generation platforms would be compatible with the second-generation AMD EPYC 7002 series if vendors support it. AMD’s partners also have updates for the new Rome platforms.

Additional AMD EPYC Coverage on STH
If you want to see the full set of STH AMD EPYC coverage, you can check out our dedicated AMD EPYC tag here where we now have over 100 distinct pieces on the server CPU offerings from AMD including CPU benchmarks, system reviews, and analysis.
I’d love to see a review of the Epyc 7282 sometime, to see how the performance and power consumption of this lower-frequency, lower-TDP model compares to other 16-core CPUs like the 7302P.
I’d like to see all the reviews
Our company is very much interested in HPE Rome servers. We would like to see a review of the new systems. According to the available information, there seems to be a few limitations (PCIGen, memory speed). Hope that only the documentation department did a bad job…
Matt – expect our first Rome equipped HPE server review on September 30, 2019.
@Patrick
Thanks, looking forward to it! Hope the 2U 2P system is also on the roadmap for testing…
We just ordered a 4 node DL325 Gen10 cluster based on your great review.
We ordered Supermicro boxes. This is looking real good for AMD
