AMD Launches EPYC 4005 Series Workstation CPUs with Up to 16 Zen 5 Cores and Remarkable Performance

Sure thing, here we go:

So, here I was, just minding my own business when I stumbled upon this… I guess you’d call it an announcement? AMD just threw their new EPYC 4005 server CPUs into the wild. They’re calling it “Grado,” which, I dunno, sounds kinda fancy. Like, maybe Italians designed it, who knows?

Anyway, AMD is wagging these 4005 CPUs in Intel’s face, trying to show off how they can squeeze out more bang for your buck compared to Intel’s, what is it, 6th-Gen Xeon CPUs? Something like that.

Here’s what they said — or, what I think they meant: The new AMD EPYC™ 4005 chips are here for businesses that need to grow but don’t want to break the bank. Small to medium businesses, even those IT wizards providing cloud services, might find these useful. If there’s one thing they’re pushing, it’s that balance between performance and keeping things simple, which I totally get. If only life were like that, right?

Get this, they’re sticking with that same AM5 socket they’ve been using, kinda like sticking to your old pair of sneakers because they just fit. Oh, and some test or other — Phoronix, maybe? — had this 16-core EPYC 4565P beating Intel’s 6th-gen Xeon champ by 1.83 times. Imagine that!

Anyway, some big shot at AMD, Derek something-or-other, went on about how these CPUs tackle everyday business challenges. Like, alright Derek, I’ll take your word for it even though budget stuff isn’t my jam.

They’ve also managed to line up partners like Altos, Lenovo, Gigabyte, and a bunch of others. It’s like they’re throwing a party, but for techies.

There’s this whole chart — yeah, numbers are not my strong suit — of all the different models. 4565P, 4545P, and on and on, which is great, but seriously overwhelmed here. I remember prices ranging from $239 to $699, so my brain was screaming “Just tell me it’s good, or not!”.

Oh, right, Lenovo’s in the mix too — they’ve got this whole plan about prepping small businesses for AI, all thanks to these chips. AI’s everywhere these days! Anyway — wait, no, I got distracted there for a sec — what’s next?

I guess in the end, it’s about how these CPUs help with getting stuff done, like, really efficiently or something. So yeah, sounds like AMD is playing in the big leagues now, making sure everyone knows.

Alright, time to wrap this up before I get sidetracked again!
