The AMD EPYC™ 9124 is a 16-core / 32-thread server processor based on Zen 4, designed for 1U/2U servers oriented towards virtualization, databases, micro-services, and cloud infrastructure. It combines 12 DDR5 ECC memory channels and latest-generation PCIe® 5.0 connectivity for massive throughput, reduced latency, and leading energy efficiency in both single-socket and dual-socket configurations (SP5 platform).
