The AMD EPYC 4004 Desktop CPUs are based on the AM5 socket, which is seen in Ryzen platforms aimed at consumers. Thus far, the socket has supported Ryzen 7000 and Ryzen 8000G CPUs; Ryzen 9000 “Zen 5” CPU support will be added shortly. The 4 to 16 core Zen 4-powered EPYC 4004 Desktop CPUs are available in a variety of configurations, with the 3D V-Cache-boosted “X” variants providing up to 128 MB of L3 cache.
AMD is comparing the chips’ performance to that of the Xeon E-2400 “Raptor Lake” CPU series, which has a core count of only 4–8. It seems sense to compare the two lineups since these chips are the sole mainstream server platform that Intel offers. AMD claims to have increased performance by 1.7x, perf by 1.5x, perf by 1.7x, perf by system$, and perf by Watt. The business claims that you get 80% faster performance and 50% higher efficiency at a $277 lower cost when comparing the top Intel 8 core with its own 8-core EPYC 4004 CPU.
The Cryptography and Cryptocurrency “CPU Mining” performance slide, which demonstrates that the new EPYC 4004 CPUs offer a 2.4x performance per $ improvement and 60% greater efficiency, piqued my interest the most out of all the performance comparisons shown. Because of their many cores and cache, AMD’s Ryzen, EPYC, and Threadripper CPUs are employed in mining applications where they provide excellent efficiency and speed.
Press Release: AMD has announced the launch of the AMD EPYC 4004 Series processors, which offer new, cost-optimized options that enhance the company’s current EPYC server CPU portfolio by delivering enterprise-class features and industry-leading performance to hosted IT service providers and small and medium-sized enterprises.
Driven by the incredibly efficient “Zen 4” architecture, the AMD EPYC 4004 Series CPUs offer enterprise-grade performance, reliability, scalability, and contemporary security features to the cost-conscious consumer. A system running a single AMD EPYC 4564P CPU outperforms an Intel Xeon E-2488 CPU by 1.8x in terms of performance per CPU dollar.
A Reliable Option for Expanding Enterprises
In situations where system cost and other infrastructure limitations are crucial factors, the AMD EPYC 4004 Series processors are designed to provide robust general-purpose computing in a single-socket package. This allows for extremely efficient rack scale, multi-node, and tower configurations.
