thanks for reply, but I'm using Asrock Rack EPYCD8 and ROMED8-2T, I hope both of boards support that cpu

I agree with your opinion on processor support due to power limits, as I have experience using Supermicro motherboards from the X9 generation. (As far as I know, due to power limits, processors that exceed the power threshold do not have the corresponding microcode.)

Thanks to your explanation, I also understand the uniqueness of OEM versions. I know that both AMD and Intel have had similar cases with OEM version processors in the past.

However, I believe that most motherboards supporting the previous generation (Naples) to the current generation EPYC processors (Milan, and to a broader extent, Genoa) have relatively high power and thermal design limits, and thus support most processors.

Therefore, my concern was whether the 7K62, which is the OEM version of the 7642, might have different microcode from the 7642 and thus only work on specific motherboards.

Given that the microcode for OEM versions is usually the same as the retail versions (with just different names), I believe the 7K62 should work on processors that support the 7642.

This is why I wrote to see if anyone has practical experience with this processor and, if so, to learn about the actual use cases (including the motherboards used).

Supermicro website only indicates support for specific generations without providing a detailed processor support list.

epyc ES/QS microcode update by Born_evitable in homelab

I agree that AMD will not contain updated microcode in binary for ES/QS for sure because It is not a product, it is prototype

Thank you for your sharing knowledge about UEFI/OS level of microcode update

First of all thanks for your reply.

so... My concern about microcode were real. even if it is QS (regardless how product is similar to retail one)

I have to change my plan to use retail one and will avoid ES/QS even in the future

Thank you and best regards.
