AMD EPYC 4244P 6-Core Processor - Processor

AMD EPYC 4244P 6-Core Processor delivers focused server performance with a compact 6-core design and high boost speeds for modern datacenter workloads.

The AMD EPYC 4244P (series AMD EPYC 4004) is built on a design that supports both 32-bit and 64-bit operating modes, making it compatible with a wide range of server operating systems and legacy applications. With six physical cores and 12 threads, this processor balances multi-threaded throughput and single-thread responsiveness.

Clocked at a base frequency of 3.8 GHz and capable of reaching up to 5.1 GHz in boost mode, the 4244P offers strong per-core performance for latency-sensitive services. The processor includes 32 MB of L3 cache to minimize memory latency and improve application performance under load.

Thermal Design Power (TDP) is rated at a modest 65 W, which helps reduce cooling requirements and operating costs in rack-dense deployments. The CPU ships in a boxed package and does not include a cooler, so plan for an appropriate cooling solution when building your system.

The EPYC 4244P uses Socket AM5 and supports DDR5-SDRAM at up to 5200 MHz across dual memory channels, enabling high memory bandwidth for databases, virtualization, and in-memory analytics. Note that this model does not include on-board or discrete graphics, as it is optimized for headless server and compute environments.

Typical use cases include compact rack servers, virtualization hosts running multiple VMs, container platforms, and compute nodes for microservices. Its combination of high boost frequency, efficient TDP, and DDR5 support makes it suitable for performance-per-watt-sensitive deployments.

Key selling points:

• 6 cores / 12 threads for balanced multitasking
• 3.8 GHz base, up to 5.1 GHz boost for strong single-thread performance
• DDR5 support at 5200 MHz with dual-channel memory
• Low 65 W TDP for efficient cooling and power use
• 32 MB L3 cache for reduced memory latency
