This is an AMD Epyc 9354 processor with 8 CCDs.
It is an excellent high VFM processor for AI workloads, supporting up to a theoretical 460GB/s DDR5 throughput (passmark gives 431GB/s) due to its 8 CCDs (important, as most lesser EPYC and all desktop type processors have far less ccds and thus their threaded mem throughput is chopped).
I’ve used it for AI LLM dev on a system with 192GB ram and 3x 3090 GPUs. Of course the GPUS are faster, but EPYC + DDR5 lets you run multiple models, as well as large models like R1 locally at reasonable speed.
Of course it’s an excellent CPU for many other tasks as well and is generally considered peak VFM for many professional tasks.
My system has been upgraded so no longer need this. It’s been sitting around unused so I’d like to have it go to someone that can make good use of it and enjoy it.
This is a QS (late stepping engineering sample), so I can let it go cheaper, but having used it for many months for my work, it is a full fledged 9354.
All reasonable offers entertained.
I understand this might not be the best place to sell something like this. If anyone has a clue on other venues local or online that may work out, please let me know!
Haven’t really had much interest, so just wanted to highlight this: I understand this might not be the best place to sell something like this. If anyone has a clue on other venues local or online that may work out, please let me know!
Spark was a consideration. This was my preference for something with more potential for tinkering and adaptability to purpose. Also, generally more cost efficient for the amount of ram/vram.
haha, yeah, happened to have a bit of scrap plywood sitting on my work bench along with a small laser.. so kinda had to
If someone on here wants, I’d be happy to do a custom laser cut for ya, time allowing.
Made pic one as per friend’s request. Not my music taste, but he loves it.
Also: Someone give me an offer on the EPYC. I’m ready to make a heck of a deal just to see it go to someone that will put it to good use and enjoy it.
Can’t do photos per say, but anything basically black and white that I can turn into a SVG.
This particular image was a black and white silhouette that was turned into what you see by splattering random paint onto the wood and then lasering.
I’m actually happy to do it free of cost, as long as it isn’t that complex/time consuming.. .or if its complex.. it’s an interesting project
Send over your idea and I’ll let you know if I can.
Can cut or etch thin wood, cut paper, or light etch onto stone (tile, rock)
Upgraded to a more epic epyc. MOAR SPEED MOAR POWAH
Which one , specifically? I want to replace my Zen2 threadripper 3970X with a Zen5 but no news/updates of a release so far… Epyc is an option but seems overkill for me (even a threadripper is) but who can resist gifting yourself a dream toy.
My ‘upgrade’ was more of a sidegrade. Went to the ‘F’ spec part which is essentially the same but with higher frequency. TBH, although F part is faster, the 9354 was fine, and the upgrade wasn’t totally worth it, but it’s done now so no crying over spilt milk. If could go back, would advise myself to have a bit of patience and go for the new zen 5 architecture instead, but of course it would have been significantly more expensive as well.
