AMD EPYC 7003 (Milan): Core Product Analysis for Security Servers

AMD EPYC 7003 (Milan): Release Date & Market Positioning

AMD launched the EPYC 7003 series (codenamed Milan) in March 2021. Based on the Zen3 architecture, it targets the cloud, edge high-performance computing, and video analytics server markets, garnering widespread industry attention.

Adoption of EPYC 7003 in the Security Edge & Server Market

Leveraging its high core count and excellent memory/I/O bandwidth, the EPYC 7003 series has become one of the top choices for video analytics backends, distributed NVR clusters, and security data centers requiring massive concurrent video decoding and indexing. From 2021 to 2024, numerous server manufacturers launched video analytics and AI edge server products based on EPYC 7003.

Key Security Application Scenarios of EPYC 7003

•Video analytics backends and index retrieval nodes (large-scale face retrieval, event playback).

•Video storage and transcoding servers (high-concurrency H.265/H.264 transcoding).

•Edge AI clusters (paired with GPU/Tensor accelerators).

EPYC 7003 demonstrates significant advantages in security scenarios requiring high-concurrency CPU processing and large memory bandwidth.

EPYC 7003 & Other Popular Products

When compared to competitors such as Intel Xeon Scalable and Xeon D, EPYC 7003 typically offers more cores and higher I/O lanes at the same power consumption and price point, making it an ideal choice for security backends pursuing dense concurrent processing capabilities.

EPYC 7003: Upgrades Over Previous Generations

Compared to the EPYC 7002 (Rome), the 7003 (Milan) has achieved significant improvements in per-core performance, latency, and energy efficiency. Practical tests show better performance in database, retrieval, and concurrent video processing tasks, thereby enhancing the response speed of security indexing/retrieval systems.
