AMD 100-000000078

Overview

The AMD 100-000000078 is an EPYC 7282 server-class processor designed to deliver powerful multi-core performance for demanding data center workloads. Featuring sixteen cores and thirty-two threads, it operates at a base clock of 2.8 GHz and can boost up to 3.2 GHz to handle peak processing demands efficiently. With a large 64 MB L3 cache and support for 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes, this processor is well suited for virtualization, database management, and containerized environments that require high core counts without the highest price tier.

Key features

• Sixteen cores and thirty-two threads enable efficient parallel processing for multitasking and heavy workloads.
• Boost clock up to 3.2 GHz provides extra performance when applications demand it most.
• 64 MB L3 cache reduces latency by keeping frequently accessed data close to the cores.
• Supports Socket SP3 motherboards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of server platforms.
• 120 W thermal design power balances performance with manageable heat output in dense server racks.
• 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes allow direct connection to high-speed NVMe storage, network cards, and GPU accelerators for extensive expansion.
• Built on AMD Infinity Architecture, delivering balanced throughput and scalability for data center workloads.
• OEM tray packaging simplifies integration for system builders and IT professionals refreshing or building custom servers.

Connectivity and compatibility

This processor supports a broad range of server configurations through its Socket SP3 compatibility. The 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes provide ample bandwidth for connecting multiple NVMe drives, high-speed network adapters, and GPU accelerators, making it a flexible choice for modern data center setups. Its architecture supports efficient data flow and expansion, which is critical for virtualization hosts and database servers.

Performance and reliability

Designed to handle intensive workloads, the EPYC 7282 balances high core counts with energy efficiency, thanks to its 120 W TDP. The large L3 cache and boost clock capabilities ensure responsive performance during peak demand. Its AMD Infinity Architecture foundation offers reliable throughput and scalability, making it a strong option for consolidating multiple workloads onto fewer physical servers.

Ideal uses and environments

This processor fits well in virtualization hosts, database servers, and container-based environments where multiple cores and threads improve efficiency. It is a practical choice for IT teams looking to consolidate older servers into fewer, more energy-efficient machines. Its performance and connectivity features also make it suitable for edge computing installations and custom server builds requiring balanced throughput and expansion options.

Orders are processed within 2 business days, which includes verification, packing, and dispatch. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on destination, total weight, and selected speed. Free shipping applies to carts over $100 (excluding heavyweight items). All available options and final pricing are clearly shown before payment so you can choose the service that best fits your needs.

Deliveries are handled by major carriers such as USPS, UPS, and FedEx. Estimated delivery times are displayed at checkout and may vary depending on service level and location. Please note that these are estimates and can be affected by weather, holidays, or carrier volume. Once your order ships, you’ll receive a tracking number for real-time updates from pickup to final delivery.

Providing an accurate shipping address helps prevent delays, and changes may be limited once the order has been dispatched. P.O. boxes are supported only when permitted by the selected carrier. Packaging and handoff are optimized to protect items during transit, though oversized or high-weight products may require special handling. All shipping methods and any related constraints are clearly shown during checkout.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unused, in the same condition received, with tags, manuals, accessories, and original, unaltered packaging. Any item kept will be deducted from the refund. Start a return by sending us an email. Items sent back without approval may be refused or returned to the sender.

Some items are not returnable: opened TVs/combos/monitors 37″+, opened computers or software, electronic downloads, opened consumables (film, paper, bulbs, media, ink), custom or modified computers, special-order or “nonreturnable” items, submerged underwater gear, and opened educational media.

After inspection, refunds are issued to the original payment method; allow 5–7 business days for the credit to post. Shipping, handling, customs duties, and import taxes are nonrefundable. If an item is used, incomplete, or not in original condition, a 30% restocking fee may apply. Direct exchanges are not offered; purchase the replacement and return the original for a refund.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
