XcellCompute| AMD EPYC CPU Comparison

Zen 5c parts pack more, smaller cores per socket (up to 192 in the EPYC 9965) at lower boost clocks — ideal for containers, web serving and dense virtual machines. Zen 5 parts run faster per core (up to 5 GHz on F models) and suit databases, licensed software and latency-sensitive applications.

F parts are frequency-optimised: fewer cores with higher base and boost clocks and a large L3 per core. When software such as SQL Server or Windows Server is licensed per core, a 16-core F part can do the work of more slow cores while needing fewer licences — try the licence calculator above.

It is extra L3 cache stacked on the core chiplets. X parts such as the EPYC 9684X carry 1,152 MB of L3. Workloads that repeatedly read large working sets — CFD, FEA, EDA and some databases — can benefit; general web and VM workloads usually do not need it.

AMD lists 31 EPYC 9006 SKUs with specifications and 1KU prices on amd.com, on new SP7 and SP8 platforms with Zen 6 and Zen 6c cores, PCIe Gen 6 and up to 256 cores. AMD marks the specifications as subject to change. Ask us about server availability and lead times in India.

Each SKU was read from its own AMD product page on amd.com, with AMD datasheets and press releases used for core type, 3D V-Cache and CXL. Data was retrieved on 30 October 2026. Where AMD does not publish a value for a SKU, the table shows a dash rather than an estimate. Always check AMD's page before you buy.

No. The AMD list price (1KU, USD) is AMD's published price for the processor alone in 1,000-unit lots. An XcellHost server is priced monthly in INR and includes the platform, memory, storage, network, data-centre space and 24×7 support. Listed servers show their price; everything else is quoted.

1P means a single-socket server; 2P means two CPUs in one server sharing memory. P-suffix SKUs are 1P-only and usually cost less than their 2P twins. A well-sized 1P EPYC often replaces an older 2P server and halves per-socket licences.

When power, space or heat are the limit — edge sites, telco cabinets and storage nodes. The 8004 and 8005 series use the smaller SP6 socket with six DDR5 channels and up to 225 W default power. AMD's 8004 PN models are NEBS-friendly for telco deployments.

Yes. They are AMD EPYC processors for the AM5 socket, with 4 to 16 cores, two DDR5 channels and up to 28 PCIe 5.0 lanes from the CPU. They suit small-business servers, game servers and hosting where a high clock matters more than a large memory system.

Yes. We build EPYC-hosted servers with NVIDIA or AMD Instinct GPUs and run them 24×7 from Mumbai. GPU servers are always priced on quote because GPU supply and configuration vary. See our dedicated AI server and MI300X pages for details.
