AMD EPYC 9586F vs AMD EPYC 9846: Comparison

EPYC 9586F vs EPYC 9846 l3 cache compared

On l3 cache the spread is 50%, EPYC 9586F 384 MB against EPYC 9846 768 MB, so EPYC 9846 takes it. Boost clock is not the same on both, 5 GHz on the EPYC 9586F versus 3.7 GHz on the EPYC 9846. Configurable tdp max is not the same on both, 600 W on the EPYC 9586F versus 500 W on the EPYC 9846. They differ on core count too, 64 cores on the EPYC 9586F versus 168 cores on the EPYC 9846. Thread count is not the same on both, 128 threads on the EPYC 9586F versus 336 threads on the EPYC 9846. They differ on base clock too, 3.75 GHz on the EPYC 9586F versus 2.85 GHz on the EPYC 9846. They differ on launch price too, $9,701 on the EPYC 9586F versus $13,114 on the EPYC 9846. There is a split on memory bandwidth as well, 1024 GB/s / 1628 GB/s on the EPYC 9586F versus 1024 GB/s / 1638 GB/s on the EPYC 9846.

EPYC 9586F vs EPYC 9846: which one fits your build

Buy the EPYC 9586F for 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. The EPYC 9846 is the one to take 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.

Where the two are identical

Where they agree, they agree completely, tdp, memory channels, pcie lanes, cpu socket and product family included, so the decision does not turn on any of those. They match on 10 further specifications as well.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Segment the same on the EPYC 9586F and EPYC 9846?
