AMD announced the availability of its EPYC 8004 Series processors featuring the "Zen 4c" core, which is optimized for energy efficiency and performance in space-constrained environments from the intelligent edge to the data center.
Cited benefits for the AMD EPYC 8004 Series processors:
- * High performance per watt: The AMD EPYC 8004 Series processors deliver up to 2x better SPECpower performance per system watt advantage compared to the competition's top networking model.
- * In a video encoding workload, the EPYC 8534P provides up to 2.4x the aggregate frames/hour/system watt against the competition’s comparable networking productii. In an IoT Edge gateway workload an eight core EPYC 8024P powered server can provide ~1.8x the total throughput performance per 8kW rack, compared to the competition’s eight core processor.
- * Balanced performance: The AMD EPYC 8004 Series processors provide a balanced mix of performance and energy efficiency, making them ideal for space-constrained environments.
- * Wide range of applications: The AMD EPYC 8004 Series processors are well-suited for a wide range of applications, from the intelligent edge to the data center.
“The new EPYC 8004 Series processors extend AMD leadership in single socket platforms by offering excellent CPU energy efficiency in a package tuned to meet the needs of space and power-constrained infrastructure,” said Dan McNamara, senior vice president and general manager, Server Business, AMD. “AMD has delivered multiple generations of data center processors that provide outstanding efficiency, performance, and innovative features. Now with our 4th Gen EPYC CPU portfolio complete, that leadership continues across a broad set of workloads – from enterprise and cloud, to intelligent edge, technical computing and more.”
