The EPYC 7601 is AMD's top Naples-generation server chip: 32 cores and 64 threads at 2.2 GHz base and 3.2 GHz boost, in a 180 W SP3 package. Its draw is core density plus 128 PCIe 3.0 lanes and eight memory channels per socket, which lets a two-socket board feed a lot of GPUs, NVMe drives and RAM without extra switches. It suits dense virtualization, rendering farms and budget dual-socket builds, but it is a first-generation part: per-core speed is modest, memory tops out at DDR4-2666, and newer EPYC generations beat it on efficiency and IPC. Buyers on the used market value it for cheap core count; they accept the power draw and platform age.

Owners of Naples EPYC parts describe them as strong value for core-heavy work, with plenty of lanes and memory bandwidth for the money. The common complaints are power draw, heat and weak single-thread speed compared with newer chips.
The AMD EPYC 7601 is a 32-core, 64-thread server processor from the Naples family in AMD's EPYC V1 series. It runs at a base clock of 2.20 GHz and reaches a maximum turbo speed of 3.20 GHz.
It uses the SP3 socket and has a 180 W TDP. It supports 8 channels of DDR4-2666 memory and PCIe 3.0 with up to 128 lanes. It is scalable to two processors (2S).
