What the EPYC 4464P is
The EPYC 4464P is a 12-core, 24-thread server processor that AMD released on May 21, 2024 with the EPYC 4004 series. Zen 4 Raphael cores run at 3.7 GHz base with boost to 5.4 GHz. Shared L3 cache totals 64 MB for roomy VPS working sets. Default TDP is 65 W.
Twelve cores at 65 W is the efficiency standout of the 4004 line: the highest thread count available without leaving the low-power envelope for performance per watt. Against the 8-core AMD EPYC 4344P nearby it adds 4 cores with more cache for denser guests at matching power and thermals. Against the stacked AMD EPYC 4484PX it trades cache for lower watts for uncached scale-out tenants. The tray ordering part is 100-000001478 for volume purchasing and spare stock.
ECC memory through UDIMM and RDIMM separates this line from desktop Ryzen, correcting faults before they crash tenants during long uptimes. The AMD page makes no multiplier claim and no verified per-SKU detail page confirms one, so this page records none. Launch pricing was set at 429 USD per 1Ku tray quantities for volume hosting deployments.
Workload fit is efficient hosting: virtual private servers, shared web platforms and branch infrastructure where 12 cores cover the tenants inside 65 W. Operators pick the 4464P where the alternative was two smaller hosts, since one socket with full I/O replaces a pair of weaker boxes. Hosting providers often standardize on this SKU for their entry VPS tier because the per-tenant cost stays flat as occupancy grows year after year.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The 4464P fits the AM5 socket in LGA-1718 packaging on single-socket server boards. EPYC 4004 SKUs run on 1P designs only with firmware carrying the SKU ID. The board maker CPU support list confirms the minimum BIOS for each model.
Server boards differ from desktop AM5 models in ECC routing, BMC management and duty-rated firmware. Production hosting belongs on purpose-built EPYC 4004 boards rather than repurposed desktop designs, even though the socket matches and the cooler pattern carries over. Hosting providers often standardize on one EPYC 4004 board across points of presence for common spares and firmware images.
The 12-core stacked AMD EPYC 4484PX above shares the platform for cache-hungry guests at higher power. Sockets, memory and PCIe generations match across both for common spares in hosting fleets.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR5-5200 ECC in 2 channels to 192 GB is the rated fit through UDIMM and RDIMM. Matched pairs keep bandwidth uniform across 12 cores, and ECC coverage matters most on hosts that run months between reboots without supervision. Capacity follows the hosting role: VPS nodes size memory per tenant before adding guests to keep performance steady under full occupancy.
PCIe 5.0 x28 lanes from the CPU serve boot NVMe, networking and an optional card on entry boards. The AMD x28 figure governs planning here, since one retailer table prints 24 lanes against the manufacturer spec for this SKU. Board manuals define the fitted slots per chassis.
Cooling at 65 W uses compact server heatsinks matched to chassis airflow. Tray and WOF editions ship without a cooler. The AM5 fixed-backplate pattern from the CPU cooler compatibility by socket guide applies to replacements.
Upgrade paths
Inside AM5 the 4464P grows from the 8-core AMD EPYC 4344P for threads at matching power, or steps to the stacked AMD EPYC 4484PX for cache at higher draw with lower latency. Boards and memory carry over with a BIOS check for each move between 4004 power classes.
Moving to the Zen 5 based EPYC 4005 series brings newer cores on the same socket for refresh cycles. Leaving AM5 entirely means new boards with fresh memory for larger SP5-class platforms.
Frequently asked questions
What socket does the EPYC 4464P use?
It uses AM5 in LGA-1718 packaging on single-socket server boards.
How many cores does the EPYC 4464P have?
12 Zen 4 cores with 24 threads at 3.7 GHz base and up to 5.4 GHz boost, with 64 MB of L3 cache.
What memory does the EPYC 4464P support?
DDR5-5200 ECC across 2 channels to 192 GB through UDIMM and RDIMM.
What is the TDP of the EPYC 4464P?
65 W default with compact server cooling per board vendor lists.
What did the EPYC 4464P cost at launch?
429 USD per 1Ku tray quantities.
Is the EPYC 4464P good for VPS hosting?
Yes. Twelve cores at 65 W with ECC is the classic entry VPS recipe: enough threads per node with power bills that stay flat as occupancy grows every quarter.
