AMD Expands EPYC Processor Line with Cost-Optimized Offerings for Small and Medium Businesses
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has announced the availability of the AMD EPYC 4004 Series processors, offering cost-optimized solutions for small and medium businesses (SMBs) and hosted IT service providers. These new chips complement AMD’s existing EPYC server CPU portfolio and provide enterprise-grade performance, dependability, scalability, and modern security features.
The AMD EPYC 4004 Series CPUs are powered by the highly efficient Zen 4 architecture, delivering strong, general-purpose computing in a single-socket package. This enables highly performant rack-scale, multi-node, and tower configurations, making them ideal for SMBs and organizations with critical infrastructure constraints.
According to AMD, the EPYC 4004 Series processors provide exceptional value for price-conscious buyers. In fact, when compared to an Intel Xeon E-2488 CPU, a server powered by a single AMD EPYC 4564P CPU delivers a 1.8 times increase in performance per CPU dollar. This means that SMBs no longer have to compromise on their IT solutions due to budget constraints.
John Morris, Corporate Vice President for Enterprise and HPC Business Group at AMD, stated, “Based on the same technologies that power the most demanding data centers in the world, the AMD EPYC 4004 Series processors are offered at an optimized acquisition cost for customers in small and medium-sized businesses seeking to drive better business outcomes.”
Lenovo, one of AMD’s partners, expressed excitement about the expansion of AMD’s EPYC processor roadmap. Kamran Amini, VP for Server, Storage, and Software-Defined Solutions at Lenovo, said, “With the introduction of AMD EPYC 4004 series CPUs, AMD is helping to address the needs of server customers across the spectrum, providing price per performance value for growing businesses along with efficiency for a dependable, secure infrastructure.”
Other partners for the AMD EPYC 4004 Series CPUs include Altos, ASRock Rack, Gigabyte, MSI, New Egg, OVHcloud, Supermicro, and Tyan.
Overall, the availability of the AMD EPYC 4004 Series processors offers SMBs and hosted IT service providers a cost-effective solution with enterprise-grade performance and features. With the highly efficient Zen 4 architecture, these processors provide value for price-conscious buyers while delivering the performance needed for demanding workloads. By addressing the needs of growing businesses, AMD aims to empower organizations to achieve better business outcomes without compromising on their IT solutions.
