Explanation

Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) is a hardware-based memory encryption technology exclusive to AMD processors that protects virtual machine memory from being accessed by the hypervisor or other VMs - making it a defining AMD differentiator in enterprise servers like Dell PowerEdge. Option A is incorrect because AMD EPYC processors in PowerEdge servers support up to two sockets, not four (multi-socket beyond 2S is associated with older Intel platforms). Option B understates AMD's capability - AMD EPYC processors can deliver well beyond 60 cores per socket (up to 96 with Genoa-generation), so "up to 60" is inaccurate as a ceiling. Option C is a vague marketing claim with no factual basis as an AMD-specific feature, since Intel and AMD actively compete on clock speeds with neither holding a permanent lead. Memory tip: Think "AMD = Advanced Memory Defense" - SEV encrypts VM memory, and that security feature belongs solely to AMD's architecture on PowerEdge.
