International IT solutions provider Advantech has revealed AMD’s unannounced Ryzen 5000 Embedded processors. The Zen 3 chip with the ‘E’ suffix comes in an embedded form factor and is a derivative of the main Ryzen 5000 (Vermeer) family.
AMD announced its Ryzen Embedded V2000 lineup two years ago. The chipmaker recently expanded its offering with the Ryzen Embedded R2000 series in June. However, the Ryzen 9 5950E, Ryzen 9 5900E, Ryzen 7 5800E, and Ryzen 5 5600E are different breeds. The quartet of Ryzen chips are embedded variants of their desktop counterparts that use powerful Zen 3 cores. First, AMD had to surgically tweak his Ryzen 5000 Embedded lineup. Perhaps to adapt Zen 3 chips to embedded applications.
AMD’s compromises included disabling cores on some models and lowering the base clock speed on others.However, it’s unclear if AMD also interfered with boost clocks on Ryzen 5000 embedded parts. AIM-522 (opens in new tab) motherboard (via HXL (opens in new tab)) does not expose the boost clock speed. However, this document confirms that the embedded SKUs retain the same cache configs and TDP ratings as regular Ryzen 5000 chips.
AMD Ryzen 5000 Embedded Specs
| processor | core/thread | Base clock (GHz) | L3 Cache (MB) | TDP (width) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Risen 9 5950X | 16/32 | 3.4 | 64 | 105 |
| Risen 9 5950E | 12/24 | 3.4 | 64 | 105 |
| Risen 9 5900X | 12/24 | 3.7 | 64 | 105 |
| Risen 9 5900E | 10/20 | 3.7 | 64 | 105 |
| Ryzen 7 5800X | 8/16 | 3.8 | 32 | 105 |
| Ryzen 7 5800E | 8/16 | 3.7 | 32 | 100 |
| Ryzen 5 5600X | 6/12 | 3.7 | 32 | 65 |
| Raisen 5 5600E | 6/12 | 3.6 | 32 | 65 |
The Ryzen 9 5950E loses four Zen 3 cores compared to the mainstream Ryzen 9 5950X. However, the clock speed remains at 3.4 GHz. The Ryzen 9 5900E, on the other hand, didn’t suffer big losses. The processor sticks to a 10-core, 20-thread configuration, which is only 2 cores less than the Ryzen 9 5900X. However, the Ryzen 9 5900E will keep a base clock of 3.7 GHz.
On the contrary, the Ryzen 7 5800E and Ryzen 5 5600E came out mostly unscathed. The processors had to stay in 8-core, 16-thread and hexa-core, 12-thread configurations as the Ryzen 7 5800X and Ryzen 5 5600X respectively. Based on the information available, the only sacrifice seems to be a 100 MHz lower base clock. For the Ryzen 7 5800E, the chip Eve boasts a 5W lower TDP compared to the Ryzen 7 5800X.
AMD is about to bring the company’s latest Zen 4 processors to market on the new AM5 socket. That said, the chipmaker’s work on his AM4 socket isn’t over yet. The AM4 socket is a bit long, but AMD CEO and President Dr. Lisa Su said: New Ryzen chips are flooding various markets, such as the Ryzen 5000 Embedded processors we see today.
