A New Era for Small-Business Servers
AMD has recently introduced its EPYC 4004 series, specifically designed for small-business servers, showcasing unique core and clock speed configurations. Unlike the client Ryzen series, the EPYC processors offer variations such as the 4-core/8-thread configuration and the 28-lane PCIe Gen 5 I/O die. These configurations allow businesses to optimize their server performance based on specific workload demands, setting a new benchmark in server technology.
The EPYC 4124P: An Overclocking Marvel
Among the new offerings in the EPYC lineup is the EPYC 4124P processor. This chip has caught the attention of tech enthusiasts due to its compatibility with standard AM5 desktop motherboards, albeit requiring a special BIOS for optimal functionality. This flexibility opens avenues for innovative builds and configurations, merging server power with traditional desktop usability.
Overclocking Success and Benchmark Records
One user took the initiative to push the limits of the EPYC 4124P by employing liquid nitrogen cooling. This ambitious experiment led to a staggering achievement: a bench-stable all-core overclock at 6.70 GHz, far exceeding the base frequency of 3.80 GHz. This record-breaking performance has established new benchmarks for native quad-core processors, demonstrating that AMD’s EPYC series is not only a viable option for small-business servers but also a platform for extreme performance tuning.
