AMD EPYC 9965 Processor (192 cores, Zen 5c)

The AMD EPYC 9965 is the densest x86 server processor in AMD's current range, with 192 Zen 5c cores and 384 threads on a single SP5 package. The compact Zen 5c cores run at a 2.25 GHz base, 3.35 GHz all-core boost and up to 3.7 GHz maximum boost, share 384 MB of L3 cache and keep the full Zen 5 instruction set including AVX-512, unlike competing E-core designs. The chip supports twelve channels of DDR5-6400 for 614 GB/s of memory bandwidth per socket and 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes, with a 500 W default TDP and a 450 W to 500 W configurable range.

Hyperscale-style hosting providers, SaaS operators and telecom cloud teams buy the 9965 to maximise vCPUs per rack unit; a two-socket node delivers 768 threads, which cuts the number of servers, switches and licences needed for a given container fleet. It is also used for high-throughput batch processing and CDN edge nodes. The processor is a tray-only part and runs in the same SP5 platforms as the 9755 and 9575F, so integrators can offer density, balanced and frequency tiers on one motherboard design. Cooling requirements match the 500 W flagship SKUs.

Business orders for the EPYC 9965 go through InTechnologies' licensed partners for contract and invoice, with InTechnologies handling sourcing from authorised distribution, consolidation in Dubai Airport Freezone and DDP or DDU delivery. Delivery windows depend on AMD allocation and are stated on the quotation.
