In the IT sector we can find specializations for each type of use, and one of the most widespread at the business level are processors that allow managing large data capacity, that is, those created for servers. It has always been possible to use these processors at home if one had the money and the necessary configuration, which can be quite complicated given that the AMD Épyc They’re not exactly easy to get.
A few days ago a rumor started stating how AMD could prepare the EPYC 4004 for national version, based on Zen 4 architecture with AM5 form factor. Now a hardware enthusiast has indicated in a forum that there are processors of this type for sale on eBay, although it is clear that since it is an unofficial source the information may not not be true.
What makes server processors different from home processors?
When we talk about processors, it is clear that we must know that for each type of use, there is a CPU different, since a low-power processor like the one we see in portable devices is not the same as the one used in a desktop computer, or the one we can see in a server. The fact that a company like AMD may seek to adapt to the series of CPU that they have created for servers for home use, does not imply that these have similar performance to those that are on sale for large companies, because in case the brand that created the Ryzen seeks to launch these processors in this way, they would likely offer similar features to desktop computers.
But certainly, the reason why AMD If the company wants to launch this line of processors in the domestic sphere, it is directly linked to the company’s quest to dominate all aspects of the market, which involves, as they indicated, “attacking” all possible ranges, offering the highest quality. with the best price. A user on the ChipHell forum reported that he saw how processors of this type began to be sold on eBay, although we know that the problem lies in the fact that, AMD has not given an official response regarding the sale of these CPU.
It’s worth it?
One of the biggest doubts we can have just in case AMD can start selling this type of processors nationally, is whether it can be worth buying one CPU the series of which was initially intended for use on servers. Indeed, knowing that it is possible that the adaptation to be able to use these processors in a desktop computer involves several reductions in terms of power.
We still don’t know the specifications of these CPU Since ultimately most of the information is based on rumors, and these rumors don’t really incorporate technical information, so it’s hard to know if it’s worth it or not. Obviously, if they follow the line that can be expected of AMD to launch high quality processors with different models for all budgets, we could find some CPU which can give better performance than current ones.
