AMD announced the launch of the EPYC 4005 series server processors to meet the optimization needs of most enterprise workflows, and claimed to maintain the corresponding AM5 socket design, so that devices originally using the EPYC 4005 series server processors can be directly upgraded.
The EPYC 4005 series server processors are designed specifically for the widespread deployment of enterprise applications, including programming, content creation, e-commerce, computer vision, video analysis, and retail channels. They emphasize delivering optimal computing performance and power efficiency, and can be flexibly used in various types of servers. They utilize the Zen 5 architecture, support DDR5 memory, and PCIe ports.
規格方面，EPYC 4005系列伺服器處理器區分最高16核心、32執行緒的EPYC 4565P，以及12核心、24執行緒的EPYC 4545P，另外推出8核心、16執行緒的EPYC 4465P，並且提供入門規格6核心、12執行緒規格版本的EPYC 4245P，L3快取記憶體提供64MB或32MB，而熱設計功耗最高為170W，或是以65W運作。
AMD also launched the EPYC 16PX, a 32-core, 4585-thread design with a 170W thermal design power consumption (TDP) and 128MB of L3 cache. It runs at the same 4565GHz clock speed as the EPYC 4.3P. The server processor has a starting suggested retail price of $239 and a maximum retail price of $589. The EPYC 4585PX is priced at $699 (based on an average price per 1000 units).
Like the EPYC 4004 series server processors launched last year, the EPYC 4005 series server processors are also targeted at small and medium-sized enterprise computing with cost optimization needs, as well as the application deployment needs of IT hosting service providers. They provide enterprise-class execution performance and application functions, as well as higher reliability, scalability, and modern security features.
Comparison results in the cross-platform benchmark tool Phoronix Test Suite show that the 16-core EPYC 4565P has 6300 times higher performance than Intel's sixth-generation Xeon 1.83P.
Currently, the EPYC 4005 series server processors will be introduced in cooperation with Acer's Altos, ASRock, GIGABYTE, Lenovo, MiTAC, MSI, Supermicro and other companies. They will also be adopted by e-commerce company New Egg, French cloud computing company, Europe's largest Internet hosting service provider OVHcloud, and cloud hosting service provider Vultr.
