AMD has set a new standard for the industry with the launch of a new embedded processor that delivers the performance, reliability, and scalability required for the edge computing era.

AMD recently officially announced a new embedded processor series, 'EPYC™ Embedded 4005', targeting the network security equipment and industrial edge server markets.

This product is designed to address the growing demand for real-time computing performance, system cost optimization, and long product lifespan, and is characterized by simultaneously realizing high performance and low latency.

The EPYC Embedded 4005 series is based on AMD's latest 'Zen 5' x86 architecture and features a 4nm chiplet design with up to 16 cores and 32 threads.

With high clock speeds and up to 128MB of L3 cache, it delivers outstanding performance in delay-sensitive tasks such as network packet processing and industrial real-time control systems.

It also supports the AVX-512 instruction set, maximizing efficiency and performance in AI inference tasks.

This series offers adjustable TDP (Thermal Design Power) from 65W to 170W.It provides customized performance and efficiency for various embedded environments.

It's particularly suited for high-performance network security devices, such as next-generation firewalls (NGFWs). AMD guarantees a seven-year manufacturing schedule for this product, and it incorporates RAS (Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability) features, including DRAM ECC, on-chip ECC/parity, and PCIe error detection, to ensure long-term, stable operation.

EPYC Embedded 4005 supports DDR5 memory (5600MT/s, 128-bit width, sideband ECC support) and PCIe Gen 5 (28 lanes, 11 root ports), facilitating high-speed network, storage, and accelerator integration.

It also features AMD's 'Infinity Guard' security feature, which protects data from sophisticated cyberattacks and minimizes system downtime.

This product utilizes the same AM5 socket as previous EPYC generations, simplifying board design and system development while maintaining x86 software compatibility, enabling rapid time-to-market and long-term maintenance. Easily upgradable to existing solutions, enabling future-proof designs.

With the launch of the EPYC Embedded 4005 series, AMD is signaling its continued investment and expansion in the embedded market. Customers will be able to innovate faster, upgrade with greater simplicity, and deploy with confidence through platforms that deliver high performance, robust connectivity, ease of integration, and long-term support.

In this way, AMD's EPYC Embedded 4005 series is expected to set a new standard across the industry as a solution that provides the performance, stability, and scalability required in the edge computing era.
