AMD EPYC 7251
About processor
The AMD EPYC 7251 is a powerful server processor with 8 total cores and 16 total threads, making it well-suited for handling heavy workloads and multitasking. With a generous 32MB L3 cache, this processor is capable of quickly accessing and storing large amounts of data, resulting in efficient performance.
One standout feature of the EPYC 7251 is its relatively low TDP of 120W, which means it can deliver impressive performance without consuming excessive power or generating excessive heat. Additionally, the processor's Geekbench 6 Single Core score of 804 and Multi Core score of 2857 demonstrate its ability to handle both single-threaded and multi-threaded tasks with ease.
Overall, the AMD EPYC 7251 is a reliable and efficient processor that is well-suited for server applications such as data processing, virtualization, and cloud computing. Its combination of high core and thread counts, generous cache size, and relatively low power consumption make it a compelling choice for businesses and organizations in need of reliable server performance.
