AMD continues to set the industry standard with its EPYC™ Embedded processors, delivering exceptional performance, efficiency, connectivity and innovation for networking, storage and industrial applications. Today, we are extending that leadership with the 4th Gen AMD EPYC Embedded 8004 Series processors.
Designed for compute-intensive embedded systems, the AMD EPYC Embedded 8004 Series processors deliver exceptional performance for demanding workloads while maximizing energy efficiency for space- and power-constrained applications in a compact form factor. It also integrates a full suite of embedded features to further enhance system performance and reliability. Built to excel in the most demanding embedded environments, the AMD EPYC Embedded 8004 Series is ideal for networking systems, routers, security appliances, enterprise and cloud warm/cold storage, and industrial edge applications, ensuring seamless handling of dynamic workloads.
Breakthrough Performance and Energy Efficiency
The AMD EPYC Embedded 8004 series processors leverage the power of AMD’s “Zen 4c” cores to achieve new levels of core density and performance per watt. The EPYC Embedded 8004 is the first processor series in the AMD embedded portfolio to integrate these cores, setting a new benchmark for platform efficiency and innovation. This advancement enables hardware providers to design differentiated, energy-efficient platforms that deliver up to 30% better performance per watt than the previous generation (“Zen 3”)1.
The processors are available in 1P configurations ranging from 12 to 64 cores (24 to 128 threads), support up to 1.152TB of DDR5 memory capacity (2 DIMMs per channel, 96GB DIMM size), and thermal design power (TDP) ranging from 70W to 225W to meet diverse application needs.
Rich I/O and Features in a Compact Space
AMD EPYC Embedded 8004 Series processors are engineered to handle data-intensive workloads with ease, thanks to their high-speed I/O connectivity (96 lanes of PCIe® Gen 5) and expanded memory bandwidth (6 channels of DDR5-4800). These features enable system designers to easily connect SSDs, network cards, and more components to create flexible and scalable system configurations.
They are 19% smaller than AMD EPYC Embedded 9004 Series processors in a compact SP6 socket form factor,2 taking up less space while conserving energy. These devices are backed by a seven-year lifecycle support, helping system designers maintain the life of their platform.
Enhanced Embedded Capabilities
AMD EPYC Embedded 8004 Series processors excel in data transfer capabilities, system reliability, and data retention. Key integrated features include:
Direct Memory Access (4th Gen AMD EPYC DMA): Designed to improve system efficiency and performance by offloading data transfers from the CPU, allowing the core to focus on critical application tasks.
● Non-Transparent Bridge (NTB): Enables data exchange between two CPUs in an active-active configuration over PCI Express (PCIe®), enhancing system reliability and ensuring continued operation in the event of a failure.
● DRAM Refresh to NVMe: Refreshes critical data from DRAM to non-volatile memory when power is lost, helping to ensure critical data is preserved.
● Dual SPI Support: Supports the use of two SPI ROMs, one for the BIOS image and the other for the secure boot loader, providing additional security.
● Device Identity Attestation: Helps prevent unauthorized CPU upgrades by allowing cryptographic authentication of the processor.
● Yocto Framework Support: Enables customers to create lightweight, optimized Linux operating systems for embedded systems.
The AMD EPYC Embedded 8004 series processors are ideal for markets that seek powerful performance while also placing high demands on energy efficiency, thermal flexibility, and platform density. Optimized for networking, storage, and industrial edge systems that handle demanding workloads in harsh environments, the AMD EPYC Embedded 8004 series processors deliver breakthrough performance-per-watt advantages and advanced features that customers demand.
