AMD Processors
AMD Processors spans two decades of AMD server and desktop chips. Opteron coverage runs from single-core Socket 940 models through dual- and quad-core Socket F parts to 12- and 16-core G34 processors like the 6234 and 6378, many in HP, IBM and Fujitsu packaging. Newer listings include HPE EPYC 7001 kits such as the 7601 and 7451, the EPYC 7502, Ryzen 3000 desktop processors and Threadripper 2000 and 3000 chips, plus Athlon and Phenom II parts.

Buying guide
Choosing an AMD processor
EPYC generations
EPYC 7001, 7002 and 7003 processors all use socket SP3, but the server needs BIOS support for each generation, and some early platforms never added 7003 support.
Single-socket EPYC
EPYC models ending in P, like the 7351P, run in single-socket servers only; the others also work in pairs.
Threadripper sockets
Threadripper 2000 uses sTR4 and Threadripper 3000 uses sTRX4. They look alike but aren't interchangeable.
Opteron series
Opteron 1000-series parts are single-socket, 2000-series run in two-socket servers and 8000-series in four- and eight-socket servers.

Frequently asked questions
What does WOF mean on an AMD part number?
Without fan: the processor ships without a cooler. Threadripper and many EPYC and high-end Ryzen parts are sold this way, so plan a compatible cooler.
Does a Ryzen 3000 processor work in an older AM4 board?
Usually, with a BIOS update on 300- and 400-series boards, though A320 support varies by board maker. Some boards need an older supported processor installed to flash the update.
Are Opteron processors still supported?
AMD discontinued the Opteron line, so spares are mainly for keeping existing G34 and Socket F servers running, such as the ProLiant DL385 G7 and DL585 G7.
