AMD EPYC 8224P 24-core 48-thread 160W desktop processor

SKU CH-BPW8-G5B43

A 24-core, 48-thread desktop processor with 64 MB L3 cache, 2.55 GHz base clock and 160 W TDP for high-density server workloads

  • Processor classDesktop
  • 24 cores and 48 threads handle heavy multi-threaded workloads
  • 160 W TDP delivers high performance within a defined power envelope
  • 64 MB L3 cache reduces latency for data-intensive applications
  • EPYC 8004 series architecture provides advanced security and virtualisation features

24-core EPYC 8224P for dense server workloads

The AMD EPYC 8224P delivers 24 cores and 48 threads at a 2.55 GHz base frequency with a 3 GHz maximum boost. It targets single-socket platforms that need high thread density for virtualization, hyper-converged infrastructure, media streaming or software-defined storage. The 64 MB L3 cache and 24 MB L2 cache support throughput-heavy middleware and networking functions.

SP6 LGA-4844 socket installation requires

Installation follows the SP6 LGA-4844 land-grid-array pattern used by the EPYC 8004 series; the processor drops into the socket and is secured by the platform retention mechanism. No graphics engine is present, so a baseboard management controller or discrete video adapter is mandatory for console access. The 160 W TDP demands a cooler rated for that thermal load and adequate chassis airflow; insufficient mounting pressure or an undersized heatsink are the typical causes of thermal throttling or boot failure.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the EPYC 8224P is running at its 2.55 GHz base frequency after installation?

Enter the system BIOS or use a hardware monitoring utility to confirm the CPU reports a 2.55 GHz base clock and 24 cores with 48 threads.

What is included in the OEM pack and what must be sourced separately?

The OEM pack supplies only the processor; you will need to obtain a Socket SP6 LGA-4844 motherboard, a cooler rated for 160 W TDP, memory modules, and a suitable power supply.
