AMD has now publicly announced the EPYC 8005 series. The company says they are introducing the new series today, but we do not have all the details yet.

The post positions EPYC 8005 as a server CPU option aimed at dense deployments and power-constrained environments. AMD talks about platform level goals and deployment scenarios rather than a traditional product launch page. The series is a successor to Sienna Zen4c cores. Sorano has the same approach, but the cores are updated to Zen5c. 
 

AMD EPYC 8005 Server CPUs are designed with these priorities in mind:

• Wide thermal operating ranges to support broad environmental requirements
  
• Enables NEBS-compliant platforms for rugged and outdoor telco deployments
  
• High core counts per socket enabling small form factors
  

At the time of writing, AMD has not published a full EPYC 8005 SKU list or a public specification table for the lineup.  AMD has only confirmed tha the highest SKU will ship with 84 cores, and it will be using TDP up to 225W.
