AMD EPYC 7402 (Rome)

24-core Rome, used as a GPU host where core count mattered less than PCIe lanes.

Why this part

Rome was the generation that made AMD credible again in HPC, and the reason was packaging rather than the core: eight small compute chiplets on TSMC 7nm around one large I/O die on GlobalFoundries 14nm, so only the parts that benefit from an expensive node pay for it. Yield on a small die is dramatically better than on a large one, which is how AMD sold 64 cores while Intel was selling 28. JUWELS Booster used the 24-core part as a host under four A100s.

“Units recorded” sums only the edges where a public source states a quantity. It is a floor, not a total, and should never be read as installed base.
