Providing industrial devices, machine vision, IoT, and thin client solutions

AMD announced on the 22nd the Ryzen™ Embedded R2000 series, a second-generation mid-range System-on-Chip (SoC) processor optimized for a wide range of industrial equipment, as well as robotics systems, machine vision, IoT, and thin client equipment.

The Ryzen Embedded R2000 series features double the number of cores compared to the previous generation and delivers enhanced performance. The new R2514 model delivers up to 81% higher CPU and graphics performance than equivalent R1000 series processors. It also enables optimized performance efficiency per watt and rich, diverse multimedia capabilities based on the 'Zen+' core architecture and AMD Radeon graphics. The Ryzen Embedded R2000 processor is reported to be capable of individually driving up to four 4K high-resolution displays.

The embedded R2000 series processor is scalable to up to four 'Zen+' CPU cores with eight threads, 2MB of L2 cache, and 4MB of shared L3 cache. This provides embedded system developers with exceptional flexibility to adjust performance and power efficiency based on a single processing platform.

Ryzen Embedded R2000 series processors, supporting DDR4 dual-channel memory of up to 3,200 MT/s and expanded I/O connectivity, provide 33% higher memory bandwidth and up to twice as many I/O connections as R1000 series processors.

AMD emphasized that a key feature is the ability to drive up to four individual displays at 4K resolution using DisplayPort™ 1.4 and HDMI™ 2.0b or eDP 1.3 interfaces. It supports a diverse set of high-speed peripherals and interfaces featuring up to 16 PCIe® Gen3 lanes, two SATA 3.0 ports, and six USB ports (USB 3.2 Gen2 and 2.0), and supports operating systems such as Microsoft Windows® 11/10 and Linux® Ubuntu® LTS.

It was announced that the AMD Secure Processor supports enterprise-grade security features, such as critical data protection and pre-execution code validation, and also provides AMD Memory Guard for real-time DRAM memory encryption. The supply warranty for planned products has been extended to up to 10 years, providing customers with a long-term lifecycle support roadmap.

Rajneesh Gaur AMD, the Vice President, stated, “The Ryzen Embedded R2000 series for industrial applications such as robotics, machine vision, thin clients, and mini PCs has set new standards for performance and functionality,” adding, “The Embedded R2000 series provides a seamless upgrade solution that allows system developers to take advantage of better performance and power efficiency.”

Meanwhile, the AMD Ryzen Embedded R2000 series was showcased at the Embedded World 2022 exhibition held in Nuremberg, Germany from June 21 to 23.
