Has AMD Cancelled Siena? These embedded parts are right there in the same edge segment.

What exactly makes this "embedded"? If it's BGA, why would I opt for that over LGA for these particular models?

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:

Sounded to me like it's kinda like Intels Atoms, but looking at the specs, it is very much not like Atoms.

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

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

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

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

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