The power of AMD EPYC 4004
Next-generation AMD EPYC 4004 processors harness the trusted, resilient Zen 4 core architecture to effortlessly handle compute-intensive workloads while providing the flexibility needed for applications where performance, productivity and efficiency are critical. With new low-core-count options, optimized for single-socket configurations, and support for dual-channel DDR5 memory and up to 28 lanes of PCIe® 5.0 connectivity, powerful EPYC 4004 processors deliver server-grade reliability in an affordable package – minimizing system-level configuration costs and reducing energy consumption to deliver lower overall total costs of ownership.

The productivity of high-performance, server-grade ASUS hardware helps growing businesses achieve their goals, offering practical performance and scalability for the everyday needs of small and medium businesses (SMBs). Ease of use is ensured by running business software quickly and reliably on high-performance enterprise-class, server-grade hardware that's easy to deploy out of the box, with x86 compatibility enabling efficient infrastructure building without wholesale software changes – making AMD EPYC 4004-powered ASUS hardware the ideal choice for on-premises and dedicated hosting deployments.

Applications for the latest EPYC 4004-powered ASUS hardware are many and varied, and empower modern businesses with cost-effective server solutions designed to enhance general computing tasks. This includes web serving, DNS, file/print workloads, file/data sharing, printing, email, messaging, customer-relations management (CRM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP).

Backed by the power of efficient, affordable EPYC 4004 processors, the new server-grade hardware from ASUS also speeds up coding and compilation times with powerful, multi-threaded performance. The new platforms are also great for creators, whether editing 4K footage or creating complex designs, saving users time and allowing them to focus on creating — not to mention hosting modern web services and robust e-commerce solutions. Moreover, with up to 16 physical cores per socket, EPYC 4004-based ASUS systems give customers superuser-level access to instant virtual private servers (VPS), accommodating up to 16 customers on a single processor.
