AMD Unveils EPYC 4005 Series Workstation CPUs with Up to 16 Zen 5 Cores and Impressive Performance

Sure, here’s the rewritten article:

So, AMD’s got this new lineup called “Grado” EPYC 4005 server CPUs. And I gotta say, they’re aiming big—wanting to one-up Intel’s 6th-Gen Xeon CPUs. Maybe they’re biting off more than they can chew. Or maybe not. They’ve been on a roll lately.

Anyway, AMD just dropped the news about these EPYC™ 4005 Series processors, which—I kid you not—are like these tailored, right-sized superheroes for small and medium businesses. Perfect for hosting IT services, they say. Makes you wonder if they’re plotting to take over the enterprise world. Probably. Or they’re just being practical. Depends on how you see it.

And oh, check out that image of the chip! Looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. Sparks a weird kind of joy in tech geeks like me.

So, what’s the big deal with these new CPUs? They’re supposedly the bee’s knees for everything from cloud services to virtual environments. They use the AM5 socket, which might mean something to you if you’re into that sort of thing. Not that it matters, but the EPYC 4565P model apparently embarrasses the Intel Xeon 6300P in tests, like 1.83 times better performance. Nerds unite, right?

AMD’s Derek Dicker hopped on the mic to drop some truth bombs about balancing performance, simplicity, and all that jazz. Makes me chuckle a bit, imagining boardrooms all filled with overly serious discussions. But hey, they’re making enterprise-class stuff more accessible, which is kinda cool.

They’ve got these big-name partners, like MSI and Lenovo. Maybe they’re onto something, with all these players backing them. Just a little side note: I had a Lenovo once; survived three years of college abuse, so that’s something.

Let’s dive into some numbers, because who doesn’t love those? The 4565P has 16 cores and is priced at $589. Sounds fancy, right? But there are other models too, if your budget doesn’t stretch that far. And I mean, the extra cash could always go towards that coffee addiction…

Lenovo’s also playing ball here, partnering with AMD to kit out small businesses for the AI era. Feels like every company and their grandma is talking AI these days.

Enough of that. Here’s another photo of the chip. Still not sure why it looks so compelling. It just does. Like, in some odd, aesthetically pleasing way.

Ok, rambling over. Might go grab a coffee now. Or maybe not. Depends if I can be bothered stepping out.
