Processor AMD EPYC 9374F 3.85 GHz 256 MB L3 Socket SP5

The AMD EPYC 9374F is a high-density server processor that delivers 64 cores, a base frequency of 3.85 GHz and a large 256 MB L3 cache. Designed for modern data centers and business-critical applications, it uses Socket SP5 and supports dodeca-channel DDR5 memory at up to 4800 MHz to meet demanding multi-threaded workloads with energy-efficient performance. The processor is part of the AMD EPYC family and includes security and architecture features intended to reduce attack surfaces and provide unified platform intelligence.

Advantages

The processor offers a high core count and large L3 cache for improved parallel processing and reduced memory contention. Support for dodeca-channel DDR5 at up to 4800 MHz provides increased memory bandwidth for data‑intensive server tasks. Built-in AMD Infinity Guard and AMD Infinity Architecture enhance platform security and system-level intelligence without impacting compute density.

Suitable for

• Virtualization and cloud infrastructure
• Large-scale databases and in-memory analytics
• High-performance computing (HPC) and batch processing
• Enterprise servers and mission-critical applications

Key specifications

• Cores: 64
• Base frequency: 3.85 GHz
• Boost frequency: up to 4.3 GHz
• L3 cache: 256 MB
• Memory: dodeca-channel DDR5-SDRAM, up to 4800 MHz
• Socket: SP5
• On-board graphics: none

How to use

Install the processor into a compatible Socket SP5 server motherboard following the motherboard and CPU vendor installation guidelines, including appropriate mounting of the cooling solution and correct BIOS/firmware version for EPYC 9004-series support. Configure memory modules to take advantage of the dodeca-channel architecture and set platform firmware parameters for desired performance and power profiles. Use vendor-recommended thermal monitoring and power delivery components to maintain stability under sustained load.

Recommendations

For optimal results in data-center deployments, pair the AMD EPYC 9374F with server platforms certified for EPYC 9004-series processors, populate memory channels symmetrically, and keep firmware and security microcode up to date to benefit from Infinity Guard protections and architecture-level features.
