AMD announces the Ryzen Embedded 9000 series processors, designed for use in embedded devices, industrial computers, automation systems, machine vision platforms, and more. The manufacturer promises chip availability for seven years.
The Zen 5 architecture-based products from the Ryzen Embedded 9000 series are compatible with the AM5 socket. They are manufactured using 4 nm technology. TDP values range from 65 to 170 watts. Support for DDR5 RAM and PCIe 5.0 interfaces has been announced.
The new family of processors currently includes seven models: Ryzen Embedded 9600X, 9700X, 9800X3D, 9900X, 9900X3D, 9950X, and 9950X3D. They have 6 to 16 computing cores with support for multi-threaded processing. Base clock speeds range from 3.8 to 4.7 GHz, with maximum clock speeds reaching 5.2 to 5.7 GHz (see specifications below). L3 cache sizes range from 32 to 128 MB (processors with a 3D index support 3D V-Cache technology).
The chips include a graphics accelerator based on the AMD RDNA 2 architecture. Support for AVX-512 instructions is also reported, designed to accelerate resource-intensive computing tasks such as big data processing, artificial intelligence tasks, and others.
AMD also announced that the new Ryzen Pro embedded processors will debut later this year, with deliveries to continue over the next ten years. These chips will feature improved security features, including AMD Platform Secure Boot and full memory encryption with AMD Memory Guard.
