AMD's quad-core EPYC 4124P appears to have great overclocking potential, as avid overclocker der8auer pushed this supposedly "locked" CPU to 5.65 GHz with a custom water cooling setup and a slight pinch of delidding. While impractical for daily usage, overclockers have found a new niche and are extracting every last bit of performance out of this processor to claim the number-one spot at HWbot.
Coming in at €160 ($174.48), the EPYC 4124P is not cheap and costs €10 ($10.91) more than the hexa-core Ryzen 5 7500F. When hearing the word "EPYC," many would imagine a monstrous chip with 192 or so cores, but the EPYC 4004 lineup is exclusively made for the AM5 socket, which is compatible with the Ryzen 7000 and 9000 series. The EPYC 4124P doesn't precisely have a Ryzen-equivalent as it features just four cores; however, the internals are mostly similar with 1xIOD and 1xCCD (4 cores).
