AMD has unveiled its EPYC 4005 Series processors, delivering enterprise-grade performance and energy efficiency tailored for small businesses and cloud service providers. These new CPUs promise cost-effective, scalable solutions that simplify IT deployments.
MALAYSIA, 14 MAY 2025 – AMD has officially introduced the EPYC™ 4005 Series processors, engineered to deliver enterprise-grade performance, energy efficiency, and streamlined deployment for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and hosted IT service providers. These new processors are built to support a broad range of applications, from virtualized environments and enterprise software to dedicated cloud services.
The EPYC 4005 Series continues AMD’s commitment to accessible high-performance computing by utilizing the widely adopted AM5 socket, ensuring compatibility and easier integration into existing systems. Supporting next-generation technologies such as PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 memory, the processors are ideal for deployment in servers, towers, and blade platforms.
In benchmark testing using the Phoronix test suite, the EPYC 4565P 16-core processor outperformed the top-tier 6th generation Intel Xeon 6300P by up to 1.83 times, demonstrating a significant leap in compute capabilities.
The product line includes several models to meet varying business needs, with up to 16 cores and 128MB of L3 cache. These CPUs deliver a balance of high clock speed and low power consumption, making them suitable for always-on cloud computing and on-premise infrastructure alike.
The EPYC 4005 Series launch is supported by major technology partners and OEMs including Lenovo, OVHcloud, Supermicro, Gigabyte, MSI, Altos, ASRock Rack, MiTAC, New Egg, and Vultr. These partners are integrating the new CPUs into a wide range of systems, from energy-efficient microservers to high-performance cloud infrastructure.
Vultr has already made the EPYC 4005 Series available in its Bare Metal and Cloud Compute instances, citing ease of deployment, high performance, and energy savings as key advantages. Similarly, Lenovo and OVHcloud are leveraging these processors to build cost-effective, AI-ready platforms for the growing SMB market.
