Santa Clara California. AMD released its AMD Ryzen Embedded 5000 Series, power-efficient processors enhanced for “always on” networking firewalls, network-attached storage systems, and other security applications. The 5000 series in based on 7nm technology and has a five-year manufacturing availability. With support for 6, 8, 12 or 16 cores and 24 lanes of PCIe Gen4 connectivity, the series is developed to aid in reliability and consistent uptime constraints for security and networking.

“Ryzen Embedded 5000 processors deliver the ideal combination of performance and reliability required for 24x7 security and networking applications,” said Rajneesh Gaur, corporate vice president & general manager, Embedded Solutions Group, AMD.

The processors come with reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features that include ECC-supported memory subsystems and has a thermal design power (TDP) extending from 65W to 105W

Features:

  • Scalability up to 16 cores and 32 threads
  • Up to 64MB of shared L3 CPU Cache
  • Energy efficient TDP from 65W to 105W
  • ECC-supported memory and security features
  • 24 lanes of PCIe 4 connectivity (expandable I/O up to 36 lanes with AMD X570 chipset)
  • Optimized performance for enterprise reliability
