Summary
About the AMD EPYC 7773X CPU
The AMD EPYC 7773X is a 64-core (128-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q1 2022 with a suggested retail price of $8,800. It is part of AMD's EPYC lineup, which is based on the Zen 3 microarchitecture. The EPYC 7773X is compatible with AMD Socket SP3 motherboards and is fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The EPYC 7773X supports DDR4 memory and features a octa-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 8 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the EPYC 7773X has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 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 768 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The EPYC 7773X features 64 total cores which can process 128 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 3.5 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 EPYC 7773X does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
About the AMD Athlon X4 840 CPU
The AMD Athlon X4 840 is an end-of-life 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q3 2014. It is part of AMD's Athlon lineup, which is based on the Kaveri microarchitecture. The X4 840 is compatible with AMD Socket FM2+ motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 28 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Athlon X4 840 supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Athlon X4 840 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 256 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 4 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Athlon X4 840 features 4 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.1 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.8 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 Athlon X4 840 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
