The AMD EPYC 9474F is a 48‑core, 96‑thread high‑frequency server processor in the 4th Gen AMD EPYC 9004 “Genoa” family, aimed at business‑critical workloads that need both high per‑core performance and substantial parallelism. Built on 5 nm Zen 4 architecture, it is designed for large databases, analytics engines, commercial HPC, and high‑performance virtualization where fast time‑to‑results and strong responsiveness are essential. This positioning makes the EPYC 9474F particularly attractive for enterprises consolidating multiple performance‑sensitive workloads onto fewer, powerful dual‑socket servers.
The EPYC 9474F offers 48 Zen 4 cores and 96 threads running at a base clock of 3.60 GHz with boost frequencies up to about 4.10 GHz, delivering excellent single‑thread and aggregate performance. It includes 256 MB of L3 cache and supports up to 6 TB of DDR5‑4800 ECC memory across 12 channels, providing very high memory bandwidth (around 460.8 GB/s per socket) to feed data‑intensive applications and large in‑memory workloads. The CPU also exposes 128 lanes of PCIe 5.0, enabling dense configurations of ultra‑fast NVMe storage, advanced network adapters, and GPU or accelerator cards without saturating I/O.
With a default TDP of about 360 W and configurable TDP between 320–400 W, the EPYC 9474F is designed for high‑end servers with strong power and cooling capabilities, allowing it to maintain high frequencies across many cores under sustained workloads. It incorporates AMD Infinity Guard security features, providing hardware‑level protections such as memory encryption and secure virtualization that are crucial for multi‑tenant and security‑sensitive environments. Overall, the AMD EPYC 9474F delivers an exceptional blend of per‑core speed, core count, memory bandwidth, and PCIe 5.0 connectivity, making it a premier choice for mission‑critical enterprise databases, analytics platforms, and high‑density virtualized infrastructures.
