This upcoming processor will have 16C\/32T, with a base clock speed of 3.1 GHz. It will boost up to 3.6 GHz on all 16 cores and up to 3.8 GHz on eight cores.

The EPYC 7351 has a base clock speed of 2.4 GHz, with a max boost speed of 2.9 GHz. This is especially relevant for SQL Server 2017 usage. This is because SQL Server 2017 licensing is based on core counts, not clock speeds or actual performance.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Because of this, you want to get the most performance and capacity possible for each licensed CPU core. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\">A base clock speed increase of 29.2% is going to be quite noticeable on a typical SQL Server instance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I hope that mainstream vendors like Dell offer this SKU in their existing systems.
