AMD quietly introduced two EPYC CPUs that intrigue me — the 8124p is a 16-core, 125W CPU, while the 8224p is an affordable 24-core ThreadRipper Lite alternative


AMD has quietly launched its EPYC Embedded 8004 Series of processors, aimed at high-demand applications such as networking, storage, and industrial edge environments.

Built on AMD’s “Zen 4c” architecture (the first processor series in the AMD embedded portfolio with these cores), they offer from 8 to 64 cores and support up to 1.152TB of DDR5 memory. With TDP values from 70W to 225W, the series is designed to combine power efficiency with reliable performance.

The lineup, based on the EPYC 8004 “Siena” series launched last year, features six models: the 64-core 8534P, 48-core 8434P, 32-core 8324P, 24-core 8224P, 16-core 8124P, and 12-core 8C24P, each catering to different performance needs.
