AMD EPYC 9336 vs AMD EPYC 9536: Comparison
EPYC 9336 vs EPYC 9536 l3 cache compared
Start with l3 cache, because it is the widest measured gap between them: EPYC 9336 128 MB against EPYC 9536 256 MB, 50% in favour of EPYC 9536. They differ on boost clock too, 3.7 GHz on the EPYC 9336 versus 4 GHz on the EPYC 9536. Tdp is not the same on both, 195 W on the EPYC 9336 versus 300 W on the EPYC 9536. There is a split on configurable tdp max as well, 220 W on the EPYC 9336 versus 300 W on the EPYC 9536. Core count is not the same on both, 32 cores on the EPYC 9336 versus 64 cores on the EPYC 9536. There is a split on thread count as well, 64 threads on the EPYC 9336 versus 128 threads on the EPYC 9536. They differ on base clock too, 3.15 GHz on the EPYC 9336 versus 3.25 GHz on the EPYC 9536.
Which should you buy, EPYC 9336 or EPYC 9536?
Buy the EPYC 9336 for datacenter and cloud compute and virtualization-dense server workloads, though it is the wrong buy for consumer desktop builds and single-threaded latency-sensitive workloads on lower core-count SKUs. The EPYC 9536 suits datacenter and cloud compute and virtualization-dense server workloads, though it is not the pick for consumer desktop builds and single-threaded latency-sensitive workloads on lower core-count SKUs.
What EPYC 9336 and EPYC 9536 have in common
The common ground is wider than the gap: memory channels, pcie lanes, cpu socket, product family and segment are identical here. They match on 10 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
Is the SMT Support the same on the EPYC 9336 and EPYC 9536?
It is. Both are listed at Yes, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
