Processor AMD EPYC 8434P 2.5 GHz 128 MB L3 Socket SP6

The AMD EPYC 8434P is a server processor running at a base frequency of 2.5 GHz with 128 MB of L3 cache. Built for cloud services, intelligent edge and telco deployments, this Socket SP6 CPU supports hexa-channel DDR5 memory at up to 4800 MHz and provides a platform for high-performance, scalable server architectures. AMD Infinity Guard technologies help reduce attack surfaces during boot and runtime, while the AMD Infinity Architecture delivers unified system intelligence for demanding workloads.

Advantages

The EPYC 8434P combines 48 physical CPU cores with a 3.1 GHz boost frequency and large 128 MB L3 cache to deliver strong multi-threaded performance for server workloads. Support for DDR5 hexa-channel memory and Socket SP6 compatibility enable high memory bandwidth and modern server integration. Hardware security features such as AMD Infinity Guard reduce exposure to certain attacks during boot and operation. The processor lacks integrated graphics, which is typical for server-class CPUs and allows focus on compute and memory throughput.

Suitable for

• Cloud service infrastructure and virtualized environments
• Edge and telco compute platforms
• High-performance computing and data analytics
• Memory‑intensive server applications
