Product overview
Dell lists 338-CTHP as an EPYC 9655P 2.6GHz 96 Core socket SP5 Server CPU. Licensing is often counted per core, so the cheapest chip that fits the socket is not always the cheapest chip to run. This part is 96-core. Tell us what the host is licensed for and we will factor that into the recommendation.
Quote requests are answered within 48 business hours, with availability confirmed before you raise a purchase order rather than after.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
Quoted and supplied against 338-CTHP specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.
Compatibility checked
We confirm the part is supported on your platform before it ships, rather than leaving the check to you.
No substitutions without asking
If we cannot supply the exact code we tell you what we can supply and why, rather than shipping an equivalent and letting you find out.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is 338-CTHP genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes, new and sealed, with the Dell warranty and the firmware update path intact. We do not sell refurbished stock as new, and we do not source grey-market units.
Will 338-CTHP work in my server?
Send the service tag. We check the platform's supported-CPU list and the BIOS revision it requires, and where the board is dual-socket we confirm what is in the other socket. A stepping the firmware does not recognise will not post.
Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
Yes. We quote against a purchase order and hold the price for the quote period, with tiered rates at quantity. Net terms are available once the account is approved.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
On a training or inference node the host CPU is sized around the accelerators it feeds, not chosen on its own.
