AMD EPYC 9536P vs AMD EPYC 9736P: Comparison
EPYC 9536P vs EPYC 9736P: the boost clock difference
The first real difference is boost clock: EPYC 9536P 4 GHz against EPYC 9736P 3.7 GHz. They differ on tdp too, 300 W on the EPYC 9536P versus 360 W on the EPYC 9736P. They differ on configurable tdp max too, 300 W on the EPYC 9536P versus 400 W on the EPYC 9736P. Core count is not the same on both, 64 cores on the EPYC 9536P versus 128 cores on the EPYC 9736P. They differ on thread count too, 128 threads on the EPYC 9536P versus 256 threads on the EPYC 9736P. Base clock is not the same on both, 3.25 GHz on the EPYC 9536P versus 2.7 GHz on the EPYC 9736P.
EPYC 9536P vs EPYC 9736P: which one fits your build
Buy the EPYC 9536P 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 9736P suits 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.
What EPYC 9536P and EPYC 9736P have in common
The common ground is wider than the gap: l3 cache, memory channels, pcie lanes, cpu socket and product family are identical here. They match on 11 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Segment the same on the EPYC 9536P and EPYC 9736P?
It is. Both are listed at Data Center, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.

Which one should you pick?
Choose 9536P 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 9736P if you already have it on hand or find it at a lower price.
