The AMD EPYC 9654 is a high-performance server processor from AMD's fourth-generation EPYC lineup, designed to excel in data centres, cloud, and high-performance computing (HPC) environments. Built on the Zen 4 architecture and 5nm process technology, the EPYC 9654 balances powerful performance and energy efficiency, making it ideal for AI, big data, and cloud workloads. With a groundbreaking 96 cores and 192 threads, this processor allows for concurrent processing of multiple intensive tasks, reducing server sprawl and enhancing performance density. Operating at a base clock of 2.4 GHz and reaching boost speeds up to 3.7 GHz, it adeptly handles both data-intensive and latency-sensitive applications.Supporting up to 12 channels of DDR5 memory with a capacity of up to 6TB per socket, the EPYC 9654 minimises bottlenecks in memory-dependent applications, making it ideal for in-memory databases and other high-throughput tasks. With 128 lanes of PCIe 5.0 and Compute Express Link (CXL) compatibility, it enables ultra-fast data transfers and broad connectivity options for peripherals like GPUs and NVMe storage, crucial for specialised AI and machine learning workloads. The EPYC 9654's TDP of 360W ensures high performance while maintaining energy efficiency, helping data centres optimise for power and performance.Security is also central to the AMD EPYC 9654, with AMD Infinity Guard providing hardware-based data protection. Memory encryption and secure boot enhance data integrity, meeting the high security standards required for sensitive data processing.
