AMD EPYC 9554 vs Intel Xeon w9-3595X

AMD EPYC 9554 and Intel Xeon w9-3595X are both server processors listed on PassMark CPU Benchmarks. This page sets their benchmark scores, estimated prices, and specifications side by side using the same source data for both, so the figures are directly comparable.

AMD EPYC 9554 lists SP5 and Intel Xeon w9-3595X lists FCLGA4677, so moving between them is likely to be a platform change. Budget for a motherboard, memory, and cooling as well as the processor.

How do the benchmark scores compare?

AMD EPYC 9554 has a PassMark single-core score of 2,774, compared with 3,717 for Intel Xeon w9-3595X. Intel Xeon w9-3595X has the higher score in this benchmark.

AMD EPYC 9554 has a PassMark multicore score of 102,047, compared with 99,182 for Intel Xeon w9-3595X. AMD EPYC 9554 has the higher score in this benchmark.

Single-core scores describe one thread; multicore scores describe aggregate CPU throughput. These results do not establish which CPU is faster in every application. Compare platform support and total upgrade cost before buying.

AMD EPYC 9554 lists SP5; Intel Xeon w9-3595X lists FCLGA4677. Check the motherboard manufacturer's CPU support list and BIOS requirements. If the required platform changes, include motherboard, memory and cooling costs; the CPU price alone is not the full upgrade cost.

Sources and data freshness

The retrieval date records when Find Me a CPU collected the source data. It is not a benchmark test date. Prices are USD estimates from the source, converted for other currencies, rather than live retailer offers. Release / first seen means the CPU first appeared on PassMark charts, not necessarily its launch date.

Benchmark scores do not predict frame rates in a particular game. Typical TDP is a specification, not measured electricity use. A matching socket does not confirm motherboard support; check the manufacturer's CPU support list and BIOS requirements.
