AMD launches 5th-gen EPYC 8005 server CPU
AMD said on Feb. 26 it launched its fifth-generation EPYC 8005 server CPU to help address economic and operational challenges in scalable virtual radio access networks. It said the chip is optimised for distributed, compute-intensive vRAN workloads and supports efficient edge platforms with space and power constraints. AMD said the CPU supports up to 84 cores in a single socket and a power range up to 225 watts. It also introduces LDPC decoding optimisation to improve Layer 1 performance.
