- AMD drop four -nuclei chips that make 8 EPYC cores the new standard
- The Zen 5 Epyc 4005 series is aimed at small companies and IT suppliers
- Updated memory I/O races and safety features in all sku
AMD has launched its EPYC 4005 series processors, a new alignment aimed at small and medium enterprises and organized IT service providers.
These processors are designed to offer advanced characteristics in affordable and easy -to -use systems that meet the needs of modern infrastructure.
With this launch, AMD has banished the four -core server CPUs of the EPYC range. By making 8 cores 4345p its new baseline, the chips giant is pointing out that you see the highest nucleus counts such as the new normality for entry level implementations.
Performance, simplicity and affordability
The movement follows AMD’s broader effort to bring a more capable silicon to the entry level segment.
Built in Zen 5 architecture, the EPYC 4005 series remains compatible with existing AM5 platforms while offering updates in performance, memory speed and connectivity.
The chips admit up to 192 GB of DDR5 memory at speeds of up to 5600mt/s, with two memory channels and ECC support. PCIE GEN 5 is included with up to 28 lanes, offering 40% more I/O lanes than comparable XEON chips.
The EPYC 4565P leads the battery with 16 cores, 32 threads, a 170W TDP and a base frequency of 4.3GHz. According to AMD tests, this chip exceeds Intel XEON 6369P for a 1.83x factor in the Phoronix test suite.
Compared to the E-2400 and Xeon 6300P series of Intel, AMD claims a lower cost per nucleus, up to five times the cache (128MB L3 vs. 24MB) and the full support of AVX-512 in the range.
“Growing companies and dedicated houses often face significant limitations on the budget, complexity and implementation deadlines,” said Derek Dicker, corporate vice president, Enterprise and HPC Business Group, AMD.
“With the latest CPU AMD EPYC 4005 series, we are offering the proper balance of performance, simplicity and affordability, providing our customers and partners of the system with the ability to implement business class solutions that solve the daily commercial challenges.”
The chips are also equipped with the AMD Secure processor, which offer characteristics such as TPM 2.0, safe start and memory encryption. SMT is supported on all SKU.
With the absent four -nuclei models and the six -core options potentially established to be on the sidelines, AMD is sending a clear message with its new processors of the EPYC 4005 series that expects even the basic servers to deliver more.
