EPYC 4484PX

The EPYC 4484PX is a 12-core / 24-thread processor based on the Raphael (2023−2025) architecture, manufactured on a 5 nm process node. It reaches a maximum boost clock of 5.6 GHz from a base frequency of 4.4 GHz— higher boost clocks directly translate to better single-threaded performance and responsiveness in gaming. With a massive 128 MB (total) L3 cache (3D V-Cache technology), this processor has a significant gaming advantage — the large cache drastically reduces memory latency in game engines., plus 1 MB (per core) of L2 cache and 64 kB (per core) of L1 cache per core. In the PassMark benchmark (a comprehensive multi-threaded test), it scores 50,547, placing it in the Enthusiast performance tier as a Recent generation product. Geekbench 6 single-core (the most relevant metric for gaming FPS) records 2,950, while multi-core reaches 17,500. Cinebench R23 multi-core (measuring sustained rendering workload performance) scores 24,500.

The EPYC 4484PX fits into the AM5 socket and supports PCIe 4.0 with 28 total PCIe lanes for expansion cards and storage. It supports DDR5 memory at speeds up to DDR5-5200 (faster RAM improves bandwidth-sensitive workloads), with a maximum capacity of 192 GB across 2 channels (dual-channel doubles bandwidth). It supports ECC memory, providing error-correcting capabilities — essential for mission-critical workloads and servers. Integrated graphics: Radeon Graphics — allows display output without a dedicated GPU, useful for troubleshooting and light tasks.

The EPYC 4484PX is primarily designed for Workstation / Server. It supports AVX-512 instructions — specialized SIMD operations that significantly accelerate AI inference, scientific computing, and video encoding workloads. Virtualization: AMD-V, AMD-Vi — enables running virtual machines efficiently (important for development and server workloads). Its primary market competitor is the Ryzen 9 7900X3D.

The EPYC 4484PX has a rated TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 120 Watt — this indicates the amount of heat generated under sustained load and determines what cooling solution is needed. No stock cooler is included — you will need to purchase an aftermarket cooler separately. Recommended cooling: AM5 active cooling (High-end).

At an average price of $599, the EPYC 4484PX delivers 84 PassMark points per dollar. Performance ranking position: #200 out of all indexed processors.
