AMD EPYC Embedded 2435

8C/16T · 4.5 GHz · 45 W

Eight-core entry model of AMD's EPYC Embedded 2005 Series, announced on December 11, 2025 with volume production starting in the first quarter of 2026. The series puts Zen 5 cores from the Fire Range design into a compact 40 x 40 mm BGA package for networking, storage and industrial systems, with four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports alongside its PCIe 5.0 lanes, and AMD plans to keep it available for up to 10 years.

OS support

Linux: UbuntuFedoraArch Linux
Notes: AMD supports Yocto-based Linux and upstream Linux kernel drivers for the EPYC Embedded 2005 Series and does not list Windows for it. The series is not on Microsoft's Windows 11 24H2 or 25H2 supported-processor lists, and Windows 11 26H2 keeps the same hardware requirements. Mainline kernels support Zen 5, so mainstream distributions such as Ubuntu, Fedora and Arch run on it.
