AMD Launches EPYC 4004 CPUs to Boost SMB Performance

AMD has expanded its EPYC™ CPU lineup with the introduction of the AMD EPYC 4004 Series processors. These new processors are designed to provide cost-effective, enterprise-class performance and features, tailored specifically for small and medium businesses (SMBs) and hosted IT service providers.

The AMD EPYC 4004 Series CPUs deliver enterprise-grade performance, reliability, scalability, and modern security features, all powered by the efficient “Zen 4” architecture. Compared to an Intel® Xeon® E-2488 CPU, a server equipped with a single AMD EPYC 4564P CPU achieves a 1.8x increase in performance per CPU dollar.

“Historically, many small to medium businesses have had to compromise on their IT solutions by using hardware that doesn’t fully meet their needs,” said John Morris, Corporate Vice President, Enterprise and HPC Business Group, AMD. “The AMD EPYC 4004 Series processors are designed to offer an optimized acquisition cost for SMBs, leveraging the same advanced technologies that power the world’s most demanding data centers to drive better business outcomes.”

A Trusted Choice for Growing Businesses

The AMD EPYC 4004 Series processors are crafted to provide robust, general-purpose computing in a single-socket package, making them ideal for high-performance rack-scale, multi-node, and tower configurations where cost and infrastructure constraints are critical.

“Lenovo is excited to see AMD introducing the new EPYC 4004 CPUs, addressing new market opportunities. This expansion of the AMD EPYC processor roadmap caters to a broader market segment with affordable, high-performance capabilities,” said Kamran Amini, Vice President and General Manager for Server, Storage & Software Defined Solutions at Lenovo. “The AMD EPYC 4004 series CPUs help meet the needs of server customers across the spectrum, delivering value and efficiency for growing businesses with a secure, dependable infrastructure.”

Yaniv Fdida, Chief Product and Technology Officer at OVHcloud, added, “We are thrilled to add another AMD EPYC solution to our Bare Metal portfolio. Our upcoming AMD EPYC 4004 CPU-powered solutions will offer flexibility in the data center, allowing customers to harness the compute performance and energy efficiency of these new processors, while benefiting from our Trusted Cloud and performance-price ratio.”

Michael McNerney, SVP Marketing and Network Security at Supermicro, said, “The workload performance of Supermicro’s 3U MicroCloud Multi-Node Server and 1U, 2U Mainstream Server Family, powered by the AMD EPYC 4004 Series CPUs, brings increased value to customers seeking cost-effective and easy-to-deploy solutions. Together, we are expanding access for businesses looking to optimize their hosting, content delivery, cloud workloads, and more.”

Compelling Performance, Scalability, and Affordability

AMD EPYC 4004 CPU-powered servers offer a perfect blend of performance, scalability, and affordability. Supported by leading partners such as Altos, ASRock Rack, Gigabyte, Lenovo, MSI, Newegg, OVHcloud, Supermicro, and Tyan, these processors enable a wide array of enterprise solutions, making them an excellent choice for SMBs aiming to enhance their IT infrastructure.
