AMD has officially announced the launch of its new line of processors, the AMD EPYC™ 4005 Series, designed to provide scalable, efficient, and affordable computing solutions for small and medium-sized businesses, as well as hosted IT service providers and cloud platforms.
Engineered for environments that require high performance on a tight budget, the AMD EPYC 4005 processors leverage the AM5 socket—already validated in the EPYC 4004 series—to integrate into various business formats such as blade servers, towers, or multi-node platforms. In tests conducted with the Phoronix benchmark suite, the 16-core EPYC 4565P model outperformed the sixth-generation Intel Xeon 6300P processor by a factor of 1.83 times.
“Growing companies and dedicated providers face significant constraints in budget, complexity, and deployment timelines,” stated Derek Dicker, corporate vice president of AMD’s Enterprise and HPC business group. “With the EPYC 4005 series, we deliver the right balance of performance, simplicity, and affordability to tackle everyday challenges.”
Business Performance with Energy Efficiency
With support for advanced technologies such as PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 memory, the new processors enable the deployment of low-latency, high-energy-efficient, and sustained high-performance IT services. They are particularly suited for demanding workloads, both in virtualized environments and dedicated cloud services.
The series is backed by prominent technology partners including Lenovo, Supermicro, OVHcloud, Vultr, ASRock Rack, Gigabyte, MSI, Newegg, and MiTAC, among others.
From Lenovo, Senthil Reddy, product management executive, emphasized: “With these new processors, we are equipping small businesses for the era of artificial intelligence with reliable, cost-effective solutions.”
In turn, Yaniv Fdida, CTO of OVHcloud, noted: “We offer instances with unmatched performance and cost balance, ideal for innovative and demanding workloads.”
In the cloud infrastructure realm, Vultr has already integrated the new processors into its Bare Metal and Cloud Compute instances, highlighting their scalability, clock speed, and energy efficiency as key factors for developers and tech companies.
With this new initiative, AMD reinforces its commitment to democratizing business performance, offering solutions tailored to the real needs of growing businesses and modern service providers.
