AMD today announced the EPYC Embedded 4005 Series processors, purpose-built to address rising demand for real-time compute performance, optimized system costs and extended deployment lifecycles in network security appliances and entry-level industrial edge servers. Built on proven AMD server technology, AMD EPYC Embedded 4005 Series processors have been designed with features that address the unique demands of applications requiring low latency, efficient design, longevity, and affordability. This scalable processor family delivers leadership performance-per-watt with advanced security and connectivity features, high frequency cores with large L3 cache, and extended product lifecycles.

The high-performance AMD "Zen 5" x86 architecture integrates up to 16 cores and 32 threads in a compact 4 nm chiplet design. This processor is tailored to maximize multi-thread performance and simplify software development, enabling quicker time to market. The device features high clock speeds and up to 128 MB of L3 cache enabling lightning-fast data management and is performance-optimized for latency-sensitive tasks like network packet processing, and industrial real-time control systems. It also supports the AVX-512 instruction set with a 512b data path that optimizes efficiency and performance for AI inference workloads. The configurable 65 W-170 W thermal design power (TDP) range allows customers to balance performance and efficiency for their specific embedded use cases, such as next-generation firewalls (NGFWs).
