Published by Richard Parry on 31st May 2024

In the fast-evolving landscape of server technology, AMD has once again raised the bar with its latest EPYC 4004 series CPUs. Designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern data centres, these processors offer unparalleled performance, scalability, and efficiency. But what sets them apart from their predecessors, the EPYC 9004 series, and the AMD Ryzen CPUs?

The AMD EPYC 4004 series represents a significant leap forward in server processing power. With up to 128 cores and 256 threads, these CPUs deliver unmatched multitasking capabilities, making them ideal for virtualisation, cloud computing, and high-performance computing workloads. Moreover, the EPYC 4004 series boasts higher clock speeds and improved instructions per cycle (IPC), resulting in faster data processing and reduced latency.

But why should a customer opt for the EPYC 4004 series over the EPYC 9004 or AMD Ryzen CPUs? Firstly, the EPYC 4004 series offers superior scalability, allowing businesses to future-proof their infrastructure and seamlessly accommodate growing workloads. Additionally, these processors feature advanced security features, such as AMD Secure Encryption and Secure Boot, safeguarding sensitive data and ensuring compliance with industry regulations.

Introducing the latest ASRock Rack models, engineered to harness the full potential of the AMD EPYC 4004 series CPUs. With support for multiple PCIe Gen 5.0 lanes, DDR5 memory, and NVMe storage, ASRock Rack models provide the perfect foundation for building high-performance server solutions.
