US$11,805
The $11,805 EPYC 9654 enables packing an unprecedented amount of compute into slim server designs — up to 192 cores and 384 threads in a single chassis — courtesy of AMD's chiplet-based chip design paired with the denser 5nm node and the Zen 4 microarchitecture.
The 9004-series Genoa chips also come packed with up to 384MB of L3 cache and the latest in connectivity tech, including support for up to 6TB of memory spread across twelve channels of DDR5, 128 lanes of PCIe 5.0, and CXL 1.1+, all of which makes Intel’s Ice Lake product stack, which tops out at the
40-core Intel Xeon Platinum 8380 for $9,400, look rather dated. Of course, much of that is because Intel’s oft-delayed Sapphire Rapids, which also comes brimming with advanced connectivity tech and has a host of in-built accelerators, is Genoa’s real competitor.
