AMD EPYC 4464P 12c/24t 3.7GHz-5.4GHz 65W (100-000001478)

AMD EPYC 4464P Server CPU

Positioning and target workloads

AMD EPYC 4464P is a 12-core, single-socket server processor in the EPYC 4004 series, based on Zen 4 cores and the AM5 platform. It is positioned above the 8-core models to serve environments that need higher parallel throughput while retaining a compact, power-efficient design and a modern I/O stack. This SKU is aimed at edge data centers, branch infrastructure, and entry enterprise servers where concurrency, platform longevity, and predictable behavior are key requirements.

Core topology, frequency profile, and cache behavior

The processor offers 12 cores and 24 threads with a 3.7 GHz base frequency and boost clocks up to 5.4 GHz. This combination provides a strong balance between sustained multi-threaded performance and high single-thread responsiveness. With 64 MB of L3 cache, EPYC 4464P can keep larger working sets close to the cores, which is beneficial for services with shared datasets, JVM-based applications, microservices platforms, and moderately sized databases. The 65 W TDP enables consistent performance in dense or thermally constrained server designs.

Memory subsystem and performance planning

EPYC 4464P supports dual-channel DDR5 memory at speeds up to DDR5-5200. While the platform uses only two memory channels, the increased bandwidth and efficiency of DDR5 help mitigate channel count limitations for many real-world workloads. For professional deployments, memory should be populated symmetrically, and capacity planning should align total RAM with cache efficiency and workload locality.

PCIe Gen 5 connectivity and storage design

The CPU exposes up to 28 PCIe Gen 5 lanes, enabling direct attachment of high-speed NVMe SSDs and modern network adapters. In practical server designs, some lanes may be allocated to a chipset to extend connectivity, so careful lane budgeting is recommended. This makes EPYC 4464P suitable for compact servers with fast local storage and high-throughput networking.

Platform-level features for enterprise environments

EPYC 4464P includes AMD’s Secure Processor to support hardware-rooted security features. Integrated graphics for basic console access are available depending on motherboard implementation, simplifying deployment and remote management in headless systems. The AM5 ecosystem also provides access to modern board-level features that improve serviceability.

Ideal deployment scenarios

This processor is a strong fit for application servers, container orchestration nodes, CI/CD and build systems, virtualization hosts with a balanced VM mix, and storage or network services that benefit from PCIe Gen 5 devices. It is an effective choice when higher core density is needed without increasing platform complexity or power consumption.
