New ener­gy-effi­ci­ent EPYC Embedded 9004 Series com­bi­nes embedded sys­tem-opti­mi­zed fea­tures, enhan­ced secu­ri­ty and sca­la­bi­li­ty up to 96 cores —

Sie­mens and Advan­tech are initi­al cus­to­mers deploy­ing solu­ti­ons based on EPYC Embedded 9004 Series —

NÜRNBERG, Ger­ma­ny, March 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Embedded World 2023 (Hall 2, Stand 2–411) — AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announ­ced it is brin­ging world-class per­for­mance and ener­gy effi­ci­en­cy to embedded sys­tems with AMD EPYC™ Embedded 9004 Series pro­ces­sors. The new 4th gene­ra­ti­on EPYC Embedded pro­ces­sors powered by “Zen 4” archi­tec­tu­re pro­vi­de tech­no­lo­gy and fea­tures for embedded net­wor­king, security/firewall and sto­rage sys­tems in cloud and enter­pri­se com­pu­ting as well as indus­tri­al edge ser­vers for the fac­to­ry floor.

 

Built on the “Zen 4” 5nm core, the pro­ces­sors com­bi­ne speed and per­for­mance while hel­ping redu­ce both over­all sys­tem ener­gy cos­ts and TCO. The series is com­pri­sed of 10 pro­ces­sor models with per­for­mance opti­ons ran­ging from 16 to 96 cores, and a ther­mal design power (TDP) pro­fi­le ran­ging from 200W to 400W. The per­for­mance and power sca­la­bi­li­ty affor­ded with AMD EPYC Embedded 9004 Series pro­ces­sors make them an ide­al fit for embedded sys­tem OEMs expan­ding their pro­duct port­fo­li­os across a ran­ge of per­for­mance and pri­cing opti­ons. The AMD EPYC Embedded 9004 Series pro­ces­sors also include enhan­ced secu­ri­ty fea­tures to help mini­mi­ze thre­ats and main­tain a secu­re com­pu­te envi­ron­ment from power-on to run time, making them well sui­ted for appli­ca­ti­ons with enter­pri­se-class per­for­mance and secu­ri­ty needs.

 

“Sup­port­ing enter­pri­se-gra­de relia­bi­li­ty, AMD EPYC Embedded 9004 Series pro­ces­sors are tar­ge­ted for hea­vy workload, ‘always-on’ embedded sys­tems requi­ring excep­tio­nal com­pu­te per­for­mance and I/O agi­li­ty in a power-opti­mi­zed pro­fi­le,” said Raj­nee­sh Gaur, cor­po­ra­te vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Embedded Solu­ti­ons Group, AMD. “With the launch of the EPYC Embedded 9004 Series pro­ces­sors, we’re brin­ging the power of data cen­ter-level com­pu­ting to embedded net­wor­king, secu­ri­ty, sto­rage and indus­tri­al applications.”

 

With AMD EPYC Embedded 9004 Series pro­ces­sors, cus­to­mers can crea­te a varie­ty of embedded net­wor­king, secu­ri­ty, sto­rage and indus­tri­al sys­tems that ope­ra­te in the most deman­ding con­di­ti­ons. AMD EPYC Embedded 9004 offers the world-class per­for­mance and effi­ci­en­cy, enhan­ced data secu­ri­ty fea­tures and unmat­ched core sca­la­bi­li­ty of the EPYC 9004 Series ser­ver pro­ces­sor, while pro­vi­ding uni­que, embedded-spe­ci­fic bene­fits to help impro­ve relia­bi­li­ty and sys­tem lon­ge­vi­ty including:

 

Non-Trans­pa­rent Bridging (NTB): Helps enhan­ce sys­tem relia­bi­li­ty by enab­ling data exch­an­ge bet­ween two red­un­dant CPUs.

Non-Vola­ti­le Dual In-Line Memo­ry Modu­le (NVDIMM1): NVDIMM is a hybrid memo­ry con­sis­ting of vola­ti­le DRAMs and non-vola­ti­le Flash memo­ry that helps retain data after a sys­tem power fail­ure or reset by saving DRAM con­tents to Flash.

Dual Seri­al Peri­phe­ral Inter­face (SPI): Enables two off-chip ROMs to be sup­port­ed for secu­re boot.

Avai­la­bi­li­ty: Up to 7‑year plan­ned avai­la­bi­li­ty to address embedded requi­re­ments for long life and support.

Cus­to­mer Traction

 

Sie­mens and Advan­tech are among the lead OEM and ODM cus­to­mers deploy­ing the AMD EPYC Embedded 9004 Series. The pro­ces­sors will also be deploy­ed by cus­to­mers in net­wor­king for next-gen fire­walls and soft­ware-defi­ned rou­ters, as well as enter­pri­se and cloud sto­rage systems.

 

Sie­mens’ new SIMATIC IPC RS-828A ser­ver is powered by the EPYC Embedded 9004 Series pro­ces­sors. The sys­tem is desi­gned for hyper-con­ver­gent infra­struc­tures ser­ving a wide ran­ge of appli­ca­ti­ons, inclu­ding auto­mo­ti­ve manu­fac­tu­ring, 5G base sta­ti­ons and IoT public clouds. The ser­ver can also be useful for appli­ca­ti­ons invol­ving AI or hea­vy com­pu­ta­ti­on, such as visu­al track­ing in a retail environment.

 

“Sie­mens sel­ec­ted the AMD EPYC Embedded 9004 Series devices for our new high-per­for­mance, data cen­ter-class ser­ver becau­se the pro­ces­sors relia­bly deli­ver per­for­mance and power effi­ci­en­cy while being able to ope­ra­te seam­less­ly in extre­me tem­pe­ra­tures, as well as in set­tings with vibra­ti­on or elec­tro­ma­gne­tic inter­fe­rence,” said Thi­bau­lt de Assi, head of busi­ness line indus­tri­al com­pu­ting, Sie­mens. “With AMD lea­der­ship in the data cen­ter, we have been able to levera­ge its excep­tio­nal exper­ti­se for our indus­tri­al-gra­de pro­ducts, whe­re per­for­mance and effi­ci­en­cy are para­mount. The new pro­ces­sors will open new oppor­tu­ni­ties for the indus­tri­al market.”

 

Advantech’s new ASMB-831 ser­ver board, with HPC-7420 4U Rack­mount, fea­tures five PCIe® Gen5 x16 and two PCIe Gen5 x8 slots for four dou­ble-deck cards with DDR5 4800 MHz RDIMM and up to 384GB (6 DIMMS). The ASMB-831 ser­ver board is desi­gned to enable image ana­ly­sis in various use cases, inclu­ding indus­tri­al machi­ne visi­on, AOI and facial reco­gni­ti­on for smart city appli­ca­ti­ons, and secu­ri­ty surveillance.
