Back in late February [1]AMD announced the EPYC 8005 "Sorano" series to succeed EPYC 8004 Siena. At the time details were light while today AMD published the SKU table and more details on the EPYC 8005 series.

The EPYC 8005 line-up is now published and headlined by the EPYC 8635P that is an 84 core / 168 thread CPU with a 4.5GHz boost clock, 1.6GHz base clock, 384MB of L3 cache, and a 225 Watt default TDP. Down the stack is a 64-core EPYC 8535P, 48-core EPYC 8435P, 32-core EPYC 8325P, 24-core EPYC 8225P, 16-core EPYC 8125P, and 8-core EPYC 8025P. At least for now there are no "PN" variants with the EPYC 8005 series like there was in the EPYC 8004 series for Network Equipment Building System "NEBS" friendly deployments.

Thus a nice range now of single socket only, AMD EPYC Zen 5 server options between 70 and 225 Watt TDP. These CPUs are aimed to squarely compete with the Intel Xeon 6700 series.
