The AMD EPYC 9384X is a server processor with 32 cores, released in 2022 at an MSRP of $5,529. It is part of the EPYC 9004 lineup, using the EPYC 9004 platform, and fits the SP5 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Zen 4" architecture. Thanks to AMD Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT), each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 64 threads for improved parallelism. The EPYC 9384X has a base clock of 3.1 GHz and can boost up to 3.9 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. AMD manufactures the "Zen 4" silicon on a TSMC 5nm 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 320W, the EPYC 9384X runs hot and requires a capable cooling setup. The cache hierarchy consists of 64KB/core of L1, 1MB/core of L2, and 768MB of L3 cache — a substantial cache pool well suited to memory-bound enterprise and virtualization workloads.
4th Gen EPYC 'Genoa-X' — adds 3D V-Cache to the Genoa platform for cache-sensitive technical computing workloads (EDA, CFD, structural analysis).
