Processing Power

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.
