The AMD EPYC 8005 Sorano **[ServeTheHome](https://daily.dev/sources/servethehome)** · 18 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary AMD's EPYC 8005 'Serrano' series targets edge deployments with 7 SKUs ranging from 8 to 84 cores, priced from ~$529 to over $5,000. The key upgrade over the EPYC 8004 'Sienna' series is the move from Zen 4C to full Zen 5 cores, a core count increase from 64 to 84 max, and DDR5 memory speed bumped from 4800 to 6400 MT/s — delivering roughly 33% more memory bandwidth. All models feature 96 PCIe Gen 5 lanes and 6 DDR5 memory channels, making them well-suited for storage servers and network appliances that need high IO without the power draw of mainstream EPYC Turin chips. TDPs range from 95W (8-core) to 225W (84-core). The main competitor is Intel's Xeon 6 SoC (Granite Rapids D), which integrates networking and accelerators but offers fewer PCIe lanes. Benchmarks show dramatic generational performance gains. Drawbacks include limited system availability compared to the mainstream EPYC 9005 series and high current DDR5/SSD pricing. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
