AMD Launches The EPYC Embedded 9004 Series

[DanielG]

Xeon Scalable Embedded processors are the equivalent for these AMD processors. AMD has the Ryzen Embedded processors which are similar to Atom.

I've googled for those a bit and.. it seems like no boards with ryzen embedded v3000 exist at all (according to https://www.amd.com/de/products/spec...bedded-catalog ).
And even when products exist, they're super hard to get as an enduser - I only found a shop with a few ASUS and Kontron boards with R1000/V1000 CPUs, which are Zen-based (like Ryzen 1000)...

As Ryzen does support ECC you just need to find a good motherboard and are ready to go.

I'm looking for a CPU with <15W TDP, on a mainboard that's also low power, so normal Ryzens and AM4/AM5 boards don't qualify.

Ryzen Embedded looks closer to what I want, I've never seen a board with those anywhere in "normal" shops (where I could buy SuperMicro Atom boards, for example) though

Does AMD have any plans for low-power CPUs that you'd use in router/NAS-like homeservers or maybe mediacenter PCs and similar?

IMHO there is no need for a soho/prosumer nas/mediacenter cpu.

An APU with a AV1 support would be more important

"AMD is using Embedded World 2023 in Nürnberg to launch the EPYC Embedded 9004 series as their 4th Gen EPYC processors intended for telecommunications, edge computing, automation, and IoT applications."
Sounded to me like it's kinda like Intels Atoms, but looking at the specs, it is very much not like Atoms.

I've confused this with Ryzen embedded, the one used in cassino machines, RMI and other stuff with GPU

Embedded with a TDP of 200W?
I think years ago they would call these "Carrier Grade".

Come on who doesn't want to run TrueNAS on a 96 core processor!

What exactly makes this "embedded"?

I'm not sure of the specifics for this particular part, but in general:
- Some specific IPs or features that are only enabled on embedded parts (e.g., integrated Ethernet, NTB, etc.)
- Verification across a wider range of environmental conditions (e.g., certified to operate in extreme cold)

If it's BGA, why would I opt for that over LGA for these particular models?

It's LGA. See more details here:
