Just a few years ago, an AMD server CPU was a curiosity. Today – for many, it's the default choice. AMD processors in server environments today mean not only EPYC but also select Threadripper Pro models, which in many applications (rendering, virtualization, HPC) perform better than classic Xeons. If you care about a high core count, high memory bandwidth, and modern interfaces (PCIe 4.0, DDR4/DDR5), AMD offers a distinct advantage. And thanks to Hardware Direct's offerings – also real savings.

Why Choose AMD for Your Server?

The Zen architecture has proven that AMD processors are now major contenders – often offering more cores, a better performance-to-price ratio, and superior PCIe support compared to the competition. Models from the EPYC 7002 and 7003 series (Rome and Milan) allow for the use of up to 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes – which means more expansion cards, faster NVMe drives, and more flexible configurations. For application server virtualizers (Proxmox, VMware) or database environments (PostgreSQL, MS SQL), AMD offers what administrators expect: stability, compatibility, and raw computing power without artificial SKU segmentation.

What Distinguishes AMD Server Processors from the Competition?

One of AMD's key strengths is its unified platform – the SP3 socket has supported various CPU generations for years, which simplifies future upgrades. In single-socket models (e.g., 7401P, 7702P), you get up to 64 cores and 128 threads without needing to duplicate motherboards, controllers, or power supplies. This means that even on a limited budget, you can set up an environment capable of handling several hundred virtual machines or processing terabytes of data daily. Additionally, AMD invests in energy-saving technologies – Precision Boost 2, Proactive Power Scaling – which means less heat generation and lower power consumption without a drop in performance.

What Specifically Will You Find at Hardware Direct?

At Hardware Direct, you'll find AMD processors across a wide range of prices and power – from 8-core models for NAS storage to powerful 64C/128T chips for private clouds and AI. For example: the EPYC 7401P 24C/48T for just under 750 PLN (after discount), the EPYC 7702P 64C/128T priced below 1,600 PLN, as well as newer Milan series models (7313, 7373X) with a huge amount of cache and support for 3D V-Cache. All models are tested, compatible with SP3 motherboards, and ready to work right away – without needing to fiddle with BIOS or microcodes.

AMD Server Processors in Practice – For Whom Is It a Smart Choice?

AMD processors are a good choice for those who want flexibility in expansion and control over TCO. They are excellent for hosting companies (many VMs per socket), in Big Data and streaming infrastructure (many threads, large cache), and also in classic SQL servers, Elasticsearch, or backup systems where I/O and memory bandwidth are crucial. If you need a platform that won't limit you from the start and won't require replacement every year – AMD is a solid investment.
