Sure thing, let’s dive into it.
AMD just dropped their new "Grado" EPYC 4005 server CPUs. This is for all those looking to beef up their enterprise platforms or something. I’m not tech-savvy, but hey, they say it’s scalable and efficient. Sounds like a win, right?
AMD Says They’re Gunning for Intel with Their EPYC 4005 Series. So, Buckle Up!
So, here’s the deal: AMD had this press release (note how official that sounds) about their new EPYC™ 4005 Series processors. I mean, they’re pushing it like it’s the next big thing for small and medium businesses, and also those IT service folks. I don’t own a business, but this sounds pretty inviting.
They talk a lot about performance. And features. And efficiency. Again, my eyes kinda glazed over, but the gist is that it’s using the AM5 socket. Isn’t that what their last series used? Anyway, with all this techie jargon, they claim the EPYC 4565P 16-core actually beats Intel’s top chips by almost double. Which is kinda massive, if you ask me.
"Growing businesses have all these hurdles like budget and complexity. So, we think our latest AMD EPYC 4005 Series CPUs hit the sweet spot," says Derek Dicker from AMD. Those are his actual words, and I believe him. Or, I think I do.
AMD’s got these processors that seem to cater to various enterprise needs. From top brands like Lenovo and MSI to your DIY setups—every corner’s covered. Lots of names here, like Gigabyte and Supermicro, are apparently onboard.
Table time! Because we all love a good chart, right?

Comment from Lenovo: They’re jumping into this AMD pool, providing what they call “tailored solutions” for businesses eyeing AI. I guess they want these systems ready for the future. AI sounds kind of futuristic — and maybe a bit terrifying?
So, this AMD thing? It’s a big deal. Or somewhere in between. Who can really say? Anyway, it’s landed! ✨
