The AMD Epyc 7303 processor is based on the Zen 3 microarchitecture (2023). It features 16 cores with 32 threads. More cores provide increased power for programs that take advantage of a larger number of cores. Threads allow the processor to run multiple applications simultaneously, completing tasks faster. Its maximum frequency is 3.4 GHz.

It incorporates 64 MB of Cache memory. Cache memory is a very important feature as the larger it is, the less time the processor needs to retrieve data from the computer's main memory, significantly boosting performance.

It features the SP3 Socket and will need to be housed in a motherboard with a corresponding Socket. Finally, a heatsink is not included. You will need to purchase a separate heatsink for the processor, which is essential.

The Epyc 7303 is chosen for professional Server systems and workstations where high processing power is required in areas such as artificial intelligence and high-performance computing (HPC), thanks to its large memory bandwidth and excellent I/O.

The "Zen 3" microarchitecture processors are designed for gaming, offering up to 19% greater performance compared to older generations, combined with up to 24% lower energy consumption. They feature greater bandwidth contributing to increased performance. The large Cache memory, double that of "Zen 2," promises minimal delays in core-to-core communication, something that gamers will fully exploit. Indicatively, gamers in 1080p games will experience an average performance increase of 26%.
