AMD · EPYC 9005 · 2024 · SP5
The AMD EPYC 9015 is a server processor with 8 cores, released in 2024 at an MSRP of $527. It is part of the EPYC 9005 lineup, using the EPYC 9005 platform, and fits the SP5 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Zen 5" architecture. Thanks to AMD Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT), each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 16 threads for improved parallelism. The EPYC 9015 has a base clock of 3.6 GHz and can boost up to 4.1 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. AMD manufactures the "Zen 5" silicon on a TSMC 3nm/4nm process node. This processor supports DDR5 memory across 12 channels, up to 6TB total, with ECC support standard for data integrity in server workloads. It supports both single-socket (1P) and dual-socket (2P) configurations, with 128 lanes of PCIe 5.0 available for storage, networking and accelerators. With a TDP of 125W, the EPYC 9015 sits in a typical power envelope for a modern desktop CPU. The cache hierarchy consists of 80KB/core of L1, 1MB/core of L2, and 64MB of L3 cache — a substantial cache pool well suited to memory-bound enterprise and virtualization workloads.
Entry-level Turin — lowest core count in the EPYC 9005 lineup but retains the full 12-channel memory controller and 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes, making it a cost-effective option for edge or lightly-threaded server workloads that still need platform-level I/O bandwidth.
