Built on AMD’s server-grade technology, the EPYC Embedded 4005 Series delivers high performance-per-watt, low latency, and extended lifecycles with up to 128MB L3 cache, advanced security, and compact 4nm chiplet design

AMD has launched its new EPYC Embedded 4005 Series processors, purpose-built to meet the growing demand for real-time compute performance, system efficiency, and long-term deployment in sectors like network security and industrial edge computing.

Built on AMD’s proven server technology, the EPYC Embedded 4005 Series is designed for applications that require low latency, high efficiency, and extended product lifecycles. These processors deliver strong performance-per-watt, high-frequency cores, up to 128 MB of L3 cache, and advanced connectivity and security features, all in a compact 4 nm chiplet architecture.

Performance, efficiency, and AI-readiness at the Edge

Powered by the latest AMD “Zen 5” x86 architecture, the processors support up to 16 cores and 32 threads, making them ideal for multi-threaded workloads and real-time decision-making. With clock speeds optimized for latency-sensitive tasks such as network packet processing and industrial control systems, the 4005 Series is ready for edge environments where speed and reliability are non-negotiable.

The support for AVX-512 instructions and a configurable 65W–170W TDP range allows users to tailor power and performance to specific needs, including AI inference and next-generation firewall deployments.

Long-term stability and easy integration

The EPYC Embedded 4005 Series is designed with seven years of planned availability, supporting long-term supply and platform stability. It also includes built-in RAS features—like DRAM ECC, PCIe error detection, and on-chip parity checks—to help ensure uptime in mission-critical deployments.

Ease of integration is supported by the use of AMD’s AM5 socket, providing compatibility across multiple processor generations. This common platform helps reduce engineering complexity, ensures software continuity, and simplifies future upgrades.

Future-ready connectivity and security

With DDR5 memory support at 5600 MT/s, 28 lanes of PCIe Gen 5, and 11 root ports, the EPYC Embedded 4005 enables flexible I/O configurations for storage, networking, and accelerators. AMD’s Infinity Guard security suite protects against emerging cyber threats, offering robust data protection for sensitive environments.

With this release, AMD reaffirms its commitment to embedded markets—offering performance, scalability, and long-term value in one powerful platform.
