AMD has officially unveiled its new EPYC 4005 Series processors, designed to deliver enterprise-grade performance, cost-efficiency, and simplified deployment for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and hosted IT service providers. These new CPUs provide right-sized solutions ideal for a range of applications, including enterprise software, virtualization, and cloud-hosted services.
Built on the same AM5 socket as the previously released EPYC 4004 Series, the EPYC 4005 CPUs are engineered for flexibility across various server form factors — blades, towers, and rack-mounted configurations. AMD highlighted that the EPYC 4565P 16-core processor outperformed Intel’s top-tier 6th Gen Xeon 6300P by up to 1.83x on the Phoronix test suite, showcasing AMD’s ongoing focus on performance leadership and workload optimization.
“Growing businesses and dedicated hosters often face significant constraints around budget, complexity, and deployment timelines. With the latest AMD EPYC 4005 Series CPUs, we are delivering the right balance of performance, simplicity, and affordability, giving our customers and system partners the ability to deploy enterprise-class solutions that solve everyday business challenges,” according to Derek Dicker, corporate vice president, Enterprise and HPC Business Group, AMD.
The launch is supported by an extensive ecosystem of partners, including Lenovo, Supermicro, Gigabyte, MSI, ASRock Rack, MiTAC, OVHcloud, Newegg, Vultr, and Altos, each offering solutions integrated with the new EPYC processors.
Lenovo is already deploying the new CPUs in systems tailored for SMBs entering the AI era.
With the EPYC 4005 Series, AMD continues to expand its reach into the entry-level enterprise and cloud markets, offering cutting-edge solutions for modern IT needs.
