Processor AMD EPYC 8124P 2.45 GHz 64 MB L3 Socket SP6

The AMD EPYC 8124P is a server processor operating at a base frequency of 2.45 GHz with a boost up to 3 GHz and a 64 MB L3 cache. Designed for Socket SP6 systems, this 16-core CPU supports hexa-channel DDR5 memory at up to 4800 MHz, providing sustained compute performance for cloud services, intelligent edge and telco deployments.

Advantages

The processor combines a high core count with DDR5 hexa-channel memory support for improved throughput and reduced latency in multi-threaded server workloads. AMD Infinity Guard technologies help reduce attack surfaces during boot and execution to protect critical data. The EPYC 8124P is optimized for cloud-native and edge scenarios where reliability, performance-per-watt and platform integration matter.

Suitable for

• Cloud service hosts and virtualized infrastructure
• Intelligent edge and telco network functions
• Database and analytics servers with high concurrency
• General-purpose rack and blade servers
