AMD EPYC 9565 vs AMD EPYC 9755: Comparison
EPYC 9565 vs EPYC 9755 boost clock compared
Boost clock is the dividing line, EPYC 9565 Up to 4.3 GHz against EPYC 9755 4.5 GHz. SPECrate® 2017 Integer (base), 1-chip backs the spec sheet up. EPYC 9755 scores 1,410 to 952, 32% clear. There is a split on tdp as well, 400 W on the EPYC 9565 versus 500 W on the EPYC 9755. Core count is not the same on both, 72 cores on the EPYC 9565 versus 128 cores on the EPYC 9755. They differ on thread count too, 144 threads on the EPYC 9565 versus 256 threads on the EPYC 9755. There is a split on base clock as well, 3.15 GHz on the EPYC 9565 versus 2.7 GHz on the EPYC 9755. Multi-socket support is not the same on both, 1P / 2P on the EPYC 9565 versus Dual Socket on the EPYC 9755. The memory support figures are near enough to ignore, DDR5, 12-Channel, Up to 6400 MT/s on the EPYC 9565 versus 12-channel ECC DDR5 on the EPYC 9755.
Which should you buy, EPYC 9565 or EPYC 9755?
Buy the EPYC 9565 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 9755 is the one to take for large-scale enterprise databases and HPC and technical computing at scale, though it is not built for power-constrained deployments and small server rooms. Our rating of the EPYC 9755 (9.4/10): the EPYC 9755 is AMD's most powerful standard-core EPYC SKU, pairing 128 cores with clocks that make few compromises for organizations that can afford the 500W power budget.
Where the two are identical
Where they agree, they agree completely, l3 cache, memory channels, pcie lanes, release year and socket included, so the decision does not turn on any of those. They match on 2 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Max Memory Speed the same on the EPYC 9565 and EPYC 9755?
It is. Both are listed at 6400 MT/s, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
