AMD has expanded its EPYC™ CPU portfolio with the introduction of the EPYC 4004 series. This new line of processors is designed to strike a balance between performance and affordability, making it ideal for businesses seeking a powerful yet cost-effective solution for their everyday server needs.
The EPYC 4004 series leverages the powerful “Zen 4” core architecture, offering businesses a cost-competitive option without sacrificing processing muscle. This translates to strong performance for running essential server workloads like file sharing, email services, and web applications. The competitive price point makes the EPYC 4004 series a compelling choice for businesses with budget constraints.
The EPYC 4004 series caters to a variety of server needs by offering a range of core count options, from 4 cores to 16 cores. This allows businesses to select the processing power that best suits their specific workload demands. For instance, a small business with basic file-sharing requirements could opt for a 4-core processor, while a growing company managing a large database might require the additional processing power of a 16-core option. The EPYC 4004 series provides this flexibility, ensuring businesses invest in the optimal processing power for their needs.
Data centres are known for their significant energy consumption. The EPYC 4004 series boasts improved energy efficiency compared to previous generations. This translates to potentially lower electricity costs for businesses, making them a more sustainable server solution. The focus on energy efficiency not only benefits the bottom line but also aligns with growing environmental concerns.
The EPYC 4004 series is designed for easy integration into existing server infrastructure. These processors are compatible with industry-standard server operating systems and software, minimizing setup complexities for businesses and IT teams. This user-friendly approach allows businesses to get their servers up and running quickly and efficiently.
