AMD · EPYC 8005 · 2026 · SP6
The AMD EPYC 8535P is a server processor with 64 cores, released in 2026 at an MSRP of $5,499. It is part of the EPYC 8005 lineup, using the EPYC 8005 platform, and fits the SP6 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Zen 5c" architecture. Thanks to AMD Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT), each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 128 threads for improved parallelism. The EPYC 8535P has a base clock of 2 GHz and can boost up to 4.5 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. AMD manufactures the "Zen 5c" silicon on a TSMC 4nm process node. This processor supports DDR5 memory across 6 channels, up to 2.3TB total, with ECC support standard for data integrity in server workloads. It supports single-socket (1P) configurations, with 96 lanes of PCIe 5.0 available for storage, networking and accelerators. With a TDP of 210W, the EPYC 8535P runs hot and requires a capable cooling setup. The cache hierarchy consists of 48KB/core of L1, 1MB/core of L2, and 256MB of L3 cache — a substantial cache pool well suited to memory-bound enterprise and virtualization workloads.
5th Gen EPYC 'Sorano' — single-socket-optimised Zen 5c SKU on the SP6 platform, targeting dense edge and cloud deployments where 2P scaling isn't needed.
