About the AMD EPYC 7601 CPU

The AMD EPYC 7601 is a 32-core (64-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q2 2017. It is part of AMD's EPYC lineup, which is based on the Zen microarchitecture. The EPYC 7601 is compatible with AMD Socket SP3 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 14 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The EPYC 7601 supports DDR4 memory and features a octa-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 8 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the EPYC 7601 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 96 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 64 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The EPYC 7601 features 32 total cores which can process 64 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.2 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.2 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The EPYC 7601 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

About the Intel Xeon D-2798NT CPU

The Intel Xeon D-2798NT is a 20-core (40-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q1 2022 with a suggested retail price of $2,159. It is part of Intel's Xeon D lineup, which is based on the Ice Lake-D microarchitecture. The D-2798NT is compatible with Intel BGA 2579 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Xeon D-2798NT supports DDR4 memory and features a quad-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 4 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Xeon D-2798NT has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 80 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 1.25 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 30 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Xeon D-2798NT features 20 total cores which can process 40 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.1 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.1 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Xeon D-2798NT does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
