AMD EPYC 9224 - Processor - 2.5 GHz - 64 MB L3

AMD EPYC 9224 arrives as a powerful member of the AMD EPYC™ 9004 Series, designed for demanding server and workstation workloads.

The AMD EPYC 9224 is a 48-core processor with 48 threads and a base clock of 2.5 GHz, boosting up to 3.7 GHz to accelerate bursty, latency-sensitive tasks. Its architecture delivers multi-threaded performance for virtualization, database, and high-performance computing environments.

With 64 MB of L3 cache and a TDP of 200 W, the EPYC 9224 balances sustained throughput with energy efficiency considerations in dense server deployments. The large L3 cache helps reduce memory access latency for large working sets and database operations.

This CPU supports DDR5-SDRAM at up to 4800 MHz across a dodeca-channel memory configuration, providing a maximum theoretical memory bandwidth of 460.8 GB/s to feed the many cores with data-intensive workloads.

Designed for Socket SP5 platforms, the processor exposes up to 128 PCIe lanes with PCIe 5.0 support, enabling high-speed connectivity for NVMe storage, networking adapters, and GPU accelerators when used in compatible systems.

The EPYC 9224 has no integrated graphics and is targeted at server market segments where compute density, memory bandwidth, and I/O capacity are paramount, such as cloud infrastructure, database servers, and HPC clusters.

Potential use cases include virtual machine consolidation, large-scale in-memory databases, analytics, and scientific simulations that benefit from many cores, high memory throughput, and ample PCIe connectivity.

Key selling points: 48 cores/48 threads, 2.5–3.7 GHz, 64 MB L3 cache, DDR5 4800 support, dodeca-channel memory, 460.8 GB/s bandwidth, 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes, and a 200 W TDP make the AMD EPYC 9224 an ideal choice for modern server workloads.
