AMD Updates Ryzen Embedded Series, R2000 Series With up to Four Cores and Eight Threads
One area of AMD’s portfolio that may not have received the same level of attention as desktop, mobile and server products is the embedded business. In early 2020, AMD announced the Ryzen Embedded R1000 platform for the commercial and industrial sectors and the growing IoT market. The platform features a low power processor designed for thin systems to meet the midrange of the market.
At EmbeddedWorld2022 in Nuremberg, Germany, AMD unveiled the R2000 series of next-generation Ryzen Embedded SoCs. AMD, which offers four different SKUs from 2C / 4T to 4C / 8T, which has twice the number of cores of the previous generation, claims that the R2000 series has up to 81% higher CPU and graphics performance. ..
The AMD Ryzen Embedded R2000 series has doubled the number of cores compared to the previous generation (R1000), enabling generational change from Zen to more efficient and high-performance Zen + cores. All four announced SKUs have configurable TDP, and the top SKU, R2544, operates at 35-54 W. In line with the low power goals of these SoCs, the lower SKU (R2312) has a TDP of between 12. And 35W.

Another factor that provides additional performance compared to the previous generation is the improvement in iGPU performance by increasing the number of Radeon Vega graphics computing units. The entry R2312SKU comes with 3 CUs, while the R2544 comes with 8 CUs. The Ryzen Embedded R2000 series also benefits from new video decoding and display processor blocks, supporting 4Kp60 video decoding and driving up to 3 4K displays.
AMD has also equipped the SoC with 16 PCIe Gen 3 lanes on the R2314, R2514, and R2544SKU, but the R2312 has eight. The R2000 series supports two SATA 3.0 ports, up to six USB ports combining USB 3.2 G2 and USB 2.0, and supports Microsoft Windows 11/10 and Linux Ubuntu LTS on the OS.
The benefits of AMD’s Ryzen Embedded R2000 series of applications include commercial and industrial sectors as well as robotics, with up to 10 years of product availability planned to ensure a long life cycle for each product. AMD’s Ryzen Embedded R2000 ecosystem partners include Advantech, DFI, IBASE, and Sapphire for gaming and gambling machines, so these new SoCs will be integrated into existing thin client and small form factor systems. Already adopted and planned.
AMD states that the Ryzen Embedded R2544 (4C / 8T) and R2514 (4C / 8T) will be available on October 22, but the R2314 and R2312SKU are currently in production.
