AMD EPYC 7742 64 Cores 128 Threads 3.4GHz SP3 100-000000053A CPU

High-Density Server CPU Architecture with AMD EPYC 7742 for SP3 1S/2S Platforms (SKU 100-000000053A)

The AMD EPYC 7742 is a 2nd Gen EPYC 7002 “Rome” processor designed for SP3 (LGA4094) sockets in 1S and 2S enterprise server platforms, delivering high core density for consolidation-heavy deployments. With 64 cores and 128 threads, AMD EPYC 7742 enables strong parallel throughput for virtualized clusters, scale-out services, and compute nodes where scheduler efficiency and NUMA-aware placement are critical.

AMD EPYC 7742 integrates a large 256 MB L3 cache to reduce memory latency sensitivity in mixed microservice and analytics environments. The platform’s 8-channel DDR4 memory architecture supports high aggregate bandwidth for in-memory processing and large VM footprints, while 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes per CPU provide extensive expansion for NVMe storage backplanes, high-speed networking, and accelerator attachment without oversubscription. This I/O topology is well aligned to software-defined storage, database sharding, and HPC pipelines that depend on predictable lane allocation and low-latency device access.

Why Choose the AMD EPYC 7742?

AMD EPYC 7742 provides an enterprise-ready density-to-performance ratio that simplifies node count planning for private cloud consolidation and throughput-oriented clusters. In both 1S and 2S designs, AMD EPYC 7742 supports scalable topologies with ample PCIe 4.0 connectivity, enabling balanced CPU, memory, and I/O resources for reliable growth and consistent service levels across racks.

AMD engineering emphasizes platform longevity, validation discipline, and interoperability with modern data centre standards, enabling predictable deployment in established SP3 ecosystems. AMD EPYC 7742 fits organizations seeking repeatable configurations, controlled power envelopes, and dependable operation under sustained multi-tenant load.
