About AMD EPYC 7573X
The AMD EPYC 7573X is a 32-core, 64-thread server/workstation processor from the EPYC 7003 series, built on Zen 3 architecture with the Milan-X codename. It uses AMD Socket SP3 and is manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm process. The CPU carries 768 MB of shared L3 cache, supports eight-channel DDR4 memory, and provides 128 Gen 4 PCIe lanes from the CPU. Its aggregate benchmark score is 17070, placing it at the 75th percentile among all CPUs in the database. It was released on March 21, 2022, with a launch MSRP of $5590.
Benchmark Performance
The Cinebench results in the data show a clear multi-core emphasis. The EPYC 7573X scores 5948 in Cinebench R15 multi-core and 839 in Cinebench R15 single-core. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core score is 24787 and the single-core score is 3499. In Cinebench R23, the multi-core score is 59017 and the single-core score is 8331. These figures position the processor as a high-throughput part, with the R23 multi-core result being the strongest multi-core number in the benchmark set.
The aggregate average benchmark score is 17070, which sits at the 75th percentile among all CPUs in the database. That means the 7573X ranks above most of the database in aggregate performance, but it is not an outlier near the top. The four nearest rivals listed are tightly clustered around this average. The Intel Core i5-11400F has the highest average score of the group at 17181, listed 0.6% ahead of the 7573X. The Intel Core i5-1240U follows at 17141, 0.4% ahead. The AMD EPYC 7H12 is at 17120, 0.3% ahead. The AMD EPYC 7742 is at 16998, 0.4% behind the 7573X. The largest gap in this group is only 0.6%, so the aggregate comparison is effectively a near tie among these parts.
Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior
The split between single-thread and multi-thread results is pronounced. In every Cinebench generation in the data, the multi-core score far exceeds the single-core score. The R23 single-core score of 8331 is much lower than the R23 multi-core score of 59017, and the same shape appears in R20, where single-core is 3499 versus multi-core 24787, and in R15, where single-core is 839 versus multi-core 5948.
This pattern is consistent with a 32-core, 64-thread processor. The multi-core scores reflect what the chip can do when software spreads work across its full thread count. The single-core scores are bounded by the listed base clock of 2.80 and boost clock of 3.60. Applications that can use many threads will benefit from the high multi-core figures. Applications that depend on a single thread will see only the lower single-core figures and will not be able to draw on the remaining cores. The data indicates that single-thread-sensitive workloads are not the primary target for this part.
How It Compares
AMD EPYC 7H12. The EPYC 7H12 has an average score of 17120, and the listed deltaPct is -0.3, meaning the 7573X trails by 0.3%. That is a very narrow margin in aggregate terms. The two server processors are effectively equivalent by the average benchmark metric.
Intel Core i5-1240U. The Intel Core i5-1240U averages 17141, with a deltaPct of -0.4 against the 7573X. The 7573X is therefore 0.4% behind this rival in aggregate score. Despite the different market positioning, the listed average scores place them close together.
AMD EPYC 7742. The AMD EPYC 7742 averages 16998, and the listed deltaPct is 0.4 in favor of the 7573X. This is the only listed rival where the 7573X is ahead. The aggregate difference is still small, but it is a measurable lead over the 7742 in this data.
Intel Core i5-11400F. The Intel Core i5-11400F averages 17181, with a deltaPct of -0.6 against the 7573X. That is the largest gap among the four nearest rivals, but it is still only 0.6%. In aggregate performance, the 7573X sits just behind this rival.

Power and Thermals
The EPYC 7573X has a TDP of 280, which defines its thermal design class. This is a high-power server/workstation part, and the cooling solution must be sized for that TDP. The package context includes a TSMC 7 nm process, 33,200 million transistors, and a die configuration of 8x 81 mm². Those details describe the physical construction, but the 280 TDP is the practical number for thermal planning.
The all-core performance shown by the Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 59017 indicates that the processor is designed for sustained multi-threaded operation. That kind of behavior, combined with a 280 TDP, points toward robust server cooling rather than a low-power compact thermal solution. The base clock of 2.80 and boost clock of 3.60 are the clock figures in the data, and the thermal envelope is intended to support the multi-core workload where this part is strongest.
Who Should Consider It
The EPYC 7573X is aimed at the server/workstation market, and the benchmark data supports that positioning. Buyers running multi-threaded workloads that can use 32 cores and 64 threads should weigh the Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 59017 heavily. Rendering, simulation, virtualized workloads, and other thread-scalable tasks are the natural fit for this level of multi-core throughput.
For content creation, the relevant question is whether the application scales across cores. If it does, the multi-core scores are strong. If it relies more on a single thread, then the R23 single-core score of 8331 is the limiting figure. For gaming, the data does not show the same single-thread strength as the multi-core results, so gaming workloads that depend on per-thread performance would be better assessed by the single-core numbers rather than the all-core Cinebench scores. For office productivity, the 32-core and 64-thread configuration is more than typical lightly threaded office tasks need; the single-thread figures are the more relevant measure in that context.
The eight-channel DDR4 memory interface with 204.8 GB/s of bandwidth and 128 Gen 4 lanes are additional platform features for memory- and I/O-heavy server applications. The 768 MB shared L3 cache also provides a large on-die working set for data-intensive workloads. The EPYC 7573X is not a low-power part, and the 280 TDP should be planned into the system design, but its benchmark profile is clearly built around high multi-thread throughput.
