- The references show the new EPYC 4005 series of AMD outperforming EPYC 7601 memory systems with older canals with only two DIMMS
- Watt performance improvements put AMD’s 4005 chip in a new server efficiency league
- Grado proves that the more recent design in older bulk – less memory, a lower power, even more performance
In a jump at eight years, the new EPYC 4585PX processor of AMD from the EPYC 4005 “GRADO” series has shown performance improvements that almost triple the outlet of the original flagship server of AMD, the EPYC 7601.
Interestingly, the EPYC 4585PX processor is not part of the high -end Epyc 9005 family but rather an alternative at a lower cost and powerful in power.
According to Phoronix, more than 200 benchmarks were executed on Ubuntu 25.04 on varied workloads, server tasks, HPC, scripts, multimedia coding and compilation.
The landmarks highlight a jump of dramatic efficiency
On average, the EPYC 4585PX delivered 2.69 times the original 7601 performance, despite fewer memory channels and a more compact configuration.
When adjusted for food, improvement seems even more striking: on a performance basis by Watt, the most recent chip is 2.85x more efficient, thanks to more refined architecture and improved design efficiency.
These results are likely to interest amateurs in the best server equipment, and they raise questions about the elderly of business systems.
It also places fleas at lower AMD cost with more expensive processors generally used by leading web hosting providers.
However, everything is not a clean victory. While the use of the power of the complete system wall has been considerably improved – 225W for the more recent platform compared to 238W for the old Naples server – the measures at the processor was less decisive.
The average processor consumption was 153W for the EPYC 4585PX and 141W for the old 7601, with cutting -edge values of 204W and 195W, respectively.
These figures suggest that if the system as a whole has become more effective, the processor alone has not reduced energy consumption so spectacular.
For those looking for green infrastructure, in particular small businesses or SOHO configurations, the lower slowdown draw can be more relevant than full -load comparisons.
By operating on a modern Supermicro platform with only two DDR5 DDMS, the EPYC 4585PX system has still managed to beat the eight-channel memory performance of the Epyc 7601 in most workloads.
This suggests that the memory bandwidth is no longer the only determinant of performance.
With the support for more recent chipsets and more efficient memory, the “Grado” system seems to offer a real margin for entry -level infrastructure deployments, in particular for NAS constructions where electrical efficiency and thermal limits are important.
Data show that EPYC 4005 chips with low AMD cost can now surpass old flagship products without breaking the bank or the energy budget.
The coming comparison with the Epyc 9005 fleas promises even more important gains, although the point to take away for the moment, it is no longer a premium part to obtain premium performance.
