AMD launches Ryzen Embedded 5000 processors for enterprises

AMD has unveiled the AMD Ryzen Embedded 5000 Series, a new solution for customers seeking power-efficient processors that are ideal for “always on” networking firewalls, network-attached storage systems, and other security applications.

AMD announces Ryzen Embedded 5000 for always-on networking, security & storage

The Ryzen Embedded 5000 Series complements the AMD embedded processor portfolio that includes the Ryzen Embedded V3000 and EPYC Embedded 7000 series families. The Ryzen Embedded 5000 Series processors are built on 7nm technology and come equipped with 6, 8, 12 or 16 cores and 24 lanes of PCIe Gen4 connectivity.

They are designed for enterprise reliability to support the consistent uptime requirements needed by security and networking customers. With a TDP profile ranging from 65W to 105W, Ryzen Embedded 5000 processors enable the reduction of overall system cooling footprint for space-constrained and cost-sensitive applications.

These are “Zen 3”-based AMD embedded processor portfolio, though strange to launch an older architecture processor in 2023 considering the huge Zen 3 popularity this makes sense. The Ryzen Embedded 5000 strikes an optimal balance of power and performance, making it ideal for a broad range of customers and use cases.

Ryzen Embedded 5000 Series processors offer:

• 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
