160-Core EPYC 9845 for dense server workloads

The AMD EPYC 9845 is a 160-core server processor built on the 9005 series architecture for high-density data centre deployments. It delivers 320 threads at a 2.1 GHz base clock with a 3.7 GHz maximum turbo frequency. A 320 MB L3 cache supports large working sets in virtualisation and database tiers.

Suited for multi-socket scaling.

This CPU targets operators consolidating many virtual machines or containers onto fewer sockets, using 12 memory channels and 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes per processor. Buyers who need higher single-thread frequency for lightly threaded applications should look elsewhere, as the base clock is optimised for throughput rather than burst speed.

390 W TDP requires adequate cooling infrastructure

The processor has a 390 W thermal design power and ships without a cooler, so the rack must provide sufficient airflow and mounting hardware for sustained operation. Ensure the platform power budget and thermal solution can handle this density before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the EPYC 9845 include a cooler or is it processor only?

The EPYC 9845 is sold as processor only; a compatible SP5 cooling solution must be purchased separately.

Should I choose the 9845 or the 9965 for my workload?

The 9845 provides 160 cores at 2.1 GHz base with 320 MB L3 cache, while the 9965 is a different model not detailed in this listing.

What does the 2.1 GHz base clock mean once the CPU is installed in a server?

All 160 cores run at a guaranteed 2.1 GHz under load, with turbo up to 3.7 GHz, supported by 12-channel DDR5-6400 memory and 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes.
