AMD's custom EPYC 9V84 CPU which is part of the Genoa lineup has leaked on Chinese 3rd party-seller, Goofish.
Custom AMD EPYC 9V84 Genoa CPU Makes It Way To Chinese 3rd Party Seller, Features 96 Zen 4 Cores & Massive Cinebench Performance
Yesterday, the same platform leaked the first AMD Genoa-X CPU, the EPYC 9684X, and today, we get to see another unreleased Genoa chip, the EPYC 9V84. Just like the chip that leaked yesterday, the EPYC 9V84 is also an engineering sample that should be expected from Goofish sellers since they are mostly getting these out of their sources at various warehouses & companies where such samples are being sent out. Mostly, these units are supplied in trays for early evaluation & testing and that's the reason why these are not tagged as final retail units.
Coming to the specifications, the EPYC 9V84 CPU seems to be a custom design by AMD for one of their many customers. Previously, Microsoft's Azure cloud services have featured EPYC CPUs with the "V' identifier though they aren't the only ones to do so. The CPU packs 96 Zen 4 cores based on the TSMC 5nm process node. There are 192 threads, 384 MB of L3, and 96 MB of L2 cache which is what we would also find on the EPYC 9654 CPU, the current flagship.
However, since the AMD EPYC 9V84 Genoa chip is an ES CPU, it comes with much lower clocks that are rated at 2.0 GHz base and 2.4 GHz boost. For comparison, the EPYC 9654 features a base clock of 2.4 GHz and a boost clock of 3.7 GHz. The memory support and PCIe lanes are the same at 128 Gen 5.0 and 12-channel DDR5 support.
The seller also posted the Cinebench R23 benchmark of the AMD EPYC 9V84 Genoa custom CPU which scores an impressive 111383 points at stock.

The AMD EPYC 9V84 Genoa Custom ES CPU is listed for 21000 RMB or $3000 US which is a quarter of the price of EPYC 9654 that retails close to $12,000 US. But we have to remember that running ES CPUs like EPYC can be a major hassle and although the seller states that it should run fine on an SP5 motherboard, there's no proper way to verify it. It is likely that it runs on an older BIOS on one of these boards but updating to a new firmware might simply end that.
