With Ryzen 9000 Embedded, AMD introduces a variant of its previously launched processor line. The Embedded chips enjoy long support and are marketed tailored to industrial applications.
AMD is launching Ryzen 9000 Embedded. Under that series are chips built on AMD’s Zen 5 architecture and manufactured on TSMC’s 4 nm production line. The chip series is available with up to sixteen computing cores and a TDP configurable between 65 watts and 170 watts.
The chips further support DDR5 memory, PCIe Gen 5, the AVX-512 instruction set for video and AI processing, and have up to 128 MB of cache on board. AMD also integrates a graphics component. The processor specialist is launching seven components.
| AMD Ryzen | Base Freq. | Max Freq. | # Cores | Threads | L3 Cache | TDP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Embedded 9950X3D | 4.3 GHz | 5.7 GHz | 16 | 32 | 128 MB | 170W |
| Embedded 9950X | 4.3 GHz | 5.7 GHz | 16 | 32 | 64 MB | 170W |
| Embedded 9900X3D | 4.4 GHz | 5.5 GHz | 12 | 24 | 128 MB | 120W |
| Embedded 9900X | 4.4 GHz | 5.6 GHz | 12 | 24 | 64 MB | 120W |
| Embedded 9800X3D | 4.7 GHz | 5.2 GHz | 8 | 16 | 96 MB | 120W |
| Embedded 9700X | 3.8 GHz | 5.5 GHz | 8 | 16 | 32 MB | 65W |
| Embedded 9600X | 3.9 GHz | 5.4 GHz | 6 | 12 | 32 MB | 65W |
Architecturally, the Ryzen 9000 Embedded CPUs do not really differ from the AMD Ryzen 9000 processors that AMD already launched in 2024 for desktops.
Long Support
The most important distinction has to do with the support for AMD. Embedded chips get a much longer life cycle that is more focused on what the industrial sector expects. AMD realizes that computers there typically have to perform for years and sometimes even decades. Specifically, AMD therefore guarantees at least seven years of availability of this line of chips. Later this year, AMD plans to launch a Pro variant whose components will remain available for up to ten years after launch.
The AMD Ryzen 9000 Embedded chips are aimed at industrial PCs, automated systems and applications around computer vision. They stand next to the
