AMD® EPYC™ 9684X

The AMD EPYC 9684X is a server processor with 96 cores and 192 threads, built on the Zen 4 architecture (5 nm process). It launched in Jun 2023. Clocks run from 2.55 GHz base to 3.7 GHz boost. A 1152-MB L3 cache backs the cores (12.0 MB per core). It supports DDR5 memory. The chip drops into the SP5 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (128 lanes). Rated TDP is 400 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, AMD-V (Hardware Virtualization), AMD SEV.

The AMD EPYC 9684X scores 2,892 in single-core performance and 122,017 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 18,785 for overall performance, 83,360 for productivity performance, 72,315 for creator performance, 170,824 for engineering performance and 39,180 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,271 per core, 636 per thread and 305 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 939. Its performance index is 233, so its overall performance is 133% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the AMD EPYC 9684X scores 849,930 in integer math, 477,862 in floating-point math, 2,725,621 in compression, 178,672 in cryptography, 24,361 in physics simulation, 180,280 in vector SIMD, 2,069 in the prime sieve and 349,387 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 1,343% above in integer math, 941% above in floating-point math, 1,095% above in compression, 1,455% above in cryptography, 2,135% above in physics simulation, 1,062% above in vector SIMD, 2,988% above in the prime sieve and 1,442% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The AMD EPYC 9684X has 96 physical cores and runs 192 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.55 GHz and boosts up to 3.70 GHz.

The AMD EPYC 9684X is a server processor, belongs to the AMD EPYC family, uses the Zen 4 architecture and is manufactured on a 5 nm process. It launched in Jun 2023.

The AMD EPYC 9684X has 1,152 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 1,152.0 MB of cache, or 12.00 MB per core. Feex has no recorded L1 cache size for this processor.

The AMD EPYC 9684X supports DDR5 memory, uses 12 memory channels, runs memory at up to 4,800 MT/s and delivers up to 460.8 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It does not support DDR4 and LPDDR memory.

The AMD EPYC 9684X does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The AMD EPYC 9684X uses the SP5 socket, supports PCI Express 5.0 and provides up to 128 PCIe lanes.

The AMD EPYC 9684X has a rated TDP of 400 W.
