AMD EPYC 9456P vs AMD EPYC 9536P: Comparison
EPYC 9456P vs EPYC 9536P: the boost clock difference
They are built to different briefs, and boost clock shows it, EPYC 9456P 3.7 GHz against EPYC 9536P 4 GHz. Tdp is not the same on both, 265 W on the EPYC 9456P versus 300 W on the EPYC 9536P. They differ on core count too, 48 cores on the EPYC 9456P versus 64 cores on the EPYC 9536P. There is a split on thread count as well, 96 threads on the EPYC 9456P versus 128 threads on the EPYC 9536P. They differ on base clock too, 3.2 GHz on the EPYC 9456P versus 3.25 GHz on the EPYC 9536P.
EPYC 9456P vs EPYC 9536P: which one fits your build
The EPYC 9456P is the one to take for datacenter and cloud compute and virtualization-dense server workloads, though it is not built for consumer desktop builds and single-threaded latency-sensitive workloads on lower core-count SKUs. The EPYC 9536P 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.
Where the two are identical
Where they agree, they agree completely, configurable tdp max, l3 cache, memory channels, pcie lanes and cpu socket included, so the decision does not turn on any of those. They match on 12 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Product Family the same on the EPYC 9456P and EPYC 9536P?
It is. Both are listed at EPYC 9006 Series, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.

Which one should you pick?
Choose 9456P if you want the higher L3 cache (256 MB vs 256 MB), the higher memory channels (8 channels vs 8 channels) and the higher PCIe lanes (128 lanes vs 128 lanes).
Choose 9536P if you already have it on hand or find it at a lower price.
