The EPYC 9654, Up Close
EPYC 9654 — 96-Core Genoa
Zen 4 architecture, 96 cores / 192 threads, 2.4GHz base and 3.7GHz boost, 384MB L3 on the SP5 platform. Official AMD product render of the EPYC 9004 (Genoa) family — the 9654 is the flagship 96-core part in the lineup.
Genoa Platform — SP5 / DDR5 / PCIe Gen5
Official AMD render of the EPYC 9004 platform: SP5 (LGA 6096), 12-channel DDR5-4800, 128 PCIe Gen5 lanes. Genoa is the first EPYC generation on the SP5 platform — it does not fit SP3 boards.

Genoa is the data-center workhorse of the EPYC 9004 family — the step up from Milan on the new SP5 platform. For a balanced 2P build on the previous socket, the EPYC 7763 (64-core Milan, SP3) still delivers strong density at a lower platform cost; the EPYC 9005 Turin is the next generation on the same SP5 socket. All EPYC stock rotates through our AMD EPYC range.
Transparent Pricing
2026 Reference Pricing by Configuration
Tracked live on Aug 17, 2026 — six used-retail asking-price data points for the official retail 9654, plus QS-sample and new-listing references. Volume orders quote below asking.
Used EPYC 9654 (Official Retail)
$1,790–$2,899
Genuine retail 9654, median ≈$2,400 across six live used-retail listings (Aug 17, 2026). This is the part to buy — see the QS warning below for what to avoid.
QS / Engineering Samples
$1,236–$1,749
Qualification samples from Chinese channels look like a bargain, but they are pre-production silicon: steppings and microcode can differ from retail, and they have no OEM warranty path. We do not stock QS units — if you see these prices elsewhere, treat them as a risk flag.
New Listings (eBay)
$2,299+
New-in-box 9654 listings start above the used median — an inverted curve that tells you the used market for Genoa is still young. New parts make sense only when you need OEM packaging and full warranty.
Asking prices, not transaction prices — volume deals typically close 5–15% below asking. Sources: ebay.com seller listings. Collected Aug 17, 2026. QS (engineering sample) units are flagged as higher risk and are not part of our standard stock. Full dataset: Used Server Price Index.

Quality Process
What We Test Before an EPYC 9654 Ships
Retail vs QS Verification
OPN and stepping verified against AMD's retail 9654 marking — QS and pre-production samples are rejected on sight, not stocked.
SP5 Pin & Substrate Inspection
Every LGA6096 pad inspected under magnification for bent pins or thermal-paste contamination.
Boot & Core Test
Full 96-core POST and stress pass on a reference SP5 board — all cores and all twelve memory channels exercised.
Thermal Behavior
Under-load temperature logged to flag units with degraded heat-spreader contact on the 360W part.
Firmware & Microcode
AGESA/microcode compatibility confirmed against your target board family where known.
Report in the Box
Every unit ships with its per-machine diagnostic report and warranty. Full process: inspection guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a refurbished AMD EPYC 9654 cost in 2026?
Used retail 9654 is running $1,790–$2,899 (median ≈$2,400, six listings tracked Aug 17, 2026). QS engineering samples list lower ($1,236–$1,749) but carry real risk — see the price-card note. Volume orders quote below asking.
What is the difference between EPYC 9654 and EPYC 7763?
The 7763 is 64-core Milan on SP3 (DDR4, PCIe Gen4); the 9654 is 96-core Genoa on SP5 (12-channel DDR5, PCIe Gen5, 360W). The 9654 roughly doubles core count and memory bandwidth versus the 7763 — roughly 30–45% higher multi-thread throughput in memory-bound workloads — but requires a new SP5 platform. If you are building fresh, Genoa's DDR5 bandwidth and Gen5 I/O justify the platform cost for dense virtualization, HPC, and AI training; if you already run SP3, the 7763 remains the cost-effective upgrade.
What is the difference between EPYC 9654 and EPYC 9005 Turin?
Both are SP5 parts, but 9005 'Turin' is the next generation (Zen 5) that launched later, and its used market barely exists yet — new Turin parts are scarce and hold list prices. The 9654 is the mature Genoa flagship: it is what decommissioned fleets are actually returning now, so it offers real used-market availability and pricing. For 2026 budgets, the 9654 is the practical SP5 buy; Turin is the waitlist play.
What condition are HKCHL refurbished EPYC 9654 CPUs in?
Every unit is a tested pull from decommissioned servers: OPN and stepping verified against AMD retail markings, QS samples rejected, LGA6096 pads inspected, a full 96-core POST and stress pass on a reference SP5 board, and thermal behavior logged. Each CPU ships with its diagnostic report and warranty.
Can you ship EPYC 9654 to the US, Europe, or Asia?
Yes — worldwide shipping from our Hong Kong warehouse with full export documentation; express air-freight typically arrives in 3–7 days to major markets. For volume or multi-SKU orders we combine freight with memory and server chassis to reduce per-unit cost.
