AMD has announced its latest processor lineup designed for its embedded class of products, the Ryzen Embedded 5000 series.Newest parts added To a collection of other Zen 3 based embedded platforms including Ryzen Embedded V3000 and EPYC 9004 series. Roughly speaking, tThe Ryzen Embedded 5000 series is designed to provide a low-power alternative to existing AM4 platforms for embedded networking solutions such as firewalls and NAS-based systems.
We’ve previously discussed the proposition that AMD’s Ryzen embedded platform has a low profile compared to other product lines, but AMD’s Ryzen embedded platform offers a variety of SKUs for many ‘always on’ system deployments. doing. This includes servers, small form factor systems such as retail cash registers, gaming consoles, industrial control systems, and more.
AMD has announced four Ryzen Embedded 5000 series processors designed for the AM4 desktop platform. Each SKU offers something slightly different. AMD’s embedded solutions are typically designed to be scalable, so the top SKU, the Ryzen Embedded 5950E, features 16 Zen 3 cores with a base frequency of 3.05 GHz and a 1T boost frequency of up to 3.4 GHz. I’m here. AMD also has a 12-core variant, the Ryzen Embedded 5900E, which along with the 5950E would benefit from 64MB of L3 cache (32MB per CCX) and a base TDP of just 105W.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 5800E is the only SKU in the lineup with a configurable TDP, configurable between 65W and 100W. The 5800E also benefits from 32 MB of L3 cache with a base frequency of 3.4 GHz and 1T. Boost frequency up to 3.7 GHz. The fourth and final SKU, the Ryzen Embedded 5600E, is a 6C/12T part with a base frequency of 3.3 GHz and a 1T boost frequency up to 3.6 GHz, also featuring 32 MB of L3 cache with a TDP of just 65 W. .
All of AMD’s Ryzen Embedded 5000 series processors natively feature 24 PCIe 4.0 lanes, but AMD’s X570 chipset is also available to OEMs who want an additional 12 PCIe 4.0 lanes offered through a PCIe switch. available. The platform supports DDR4-3200 ECC memory in dual-channel configurations and also supports expansion to other AM4 platforms, although AMD has specifically stated which AM4 chipsets support these chips. not.
“Ryzen Embedded 5000 processors offer the ideal combination of performance and reliability required for 24/7 security and networking applications,” said Rajneesh Gaur, AMD’s corporate VP and GM. Follow up like For customers who need both high performance and scalability up to 16 cores, it’s the mid-range His solution that bridges the gap between our low-power BGA Ryzen Embedded and the world-class His EPYC embedded family. ”
again, Official press release, AMD said: This means that these Ryzen Embedded 5000 series SKUs are likely to be the last of the Zen 3 microarchitecture within embedded platforms. Still, AMD has already announced the Zen 4 EPYC 9004 embedded platform based on the Zen 4 microarchitecture, and it’s fair to assume that new iterations of the future embedded platform will also be based on Zen 4.
The AMD Ryzen Embedded 5000 series is in production now and will be available for production for at least 5 years. AMD has not yet revealed when these chips will be available or how much they will cost.
