AMD’s Ryzen Embedded Growth in Automation
AMD unveiled the AMD Ryzen Embedded 7000 Series CPU family, which is tailored to meet the demanding performance needs of industrial sectors, at Smart Production Solutions 2023. CPUs from the Ryzen Embedded 7000 Series combine integrated Radeon graphics with “Zen 4” architecture to provide performance and capabilities not seen in earlier embedded CPUs. The Ryzen Embedded 7000 Series processors are perfect for a variety of embedded applications, such as edge servers, industrial automation, robotics, and machine vision, thanks to their increased functionality and integration.
With a 7-year manufacturing availability guarantee, the Ryzen Embedded 7000 Series CPU is the first embedded processor to leverage next-generation 5nm technology. For industrial applications, the new embedded processor’s integration of AMD Radeon RDNA 2 graphics eliminates the requirement for a standalone GPU. Additionally, in addition to Windows 10 and Windows 11, Ryzen Embedded 7000 Series CPUs offer Linux Ubuntu and Windows Server, as embedded applications need extra operating system software alternatives. Up to 12 powerful “Zen 4” CPU cores are also included in Ryzen Embedded 7000 Series processors. When paired with a variety of operating systems and integrated capabilities, these processors provide system designers with unmatched ease of integration.
“The need for more processing power is being driven by the increasing complexity and sophistication of industrial application use cases,” stated Rajneesh Gaur, corporate vice president and general manager of AMD’s Embedded Processors Group. “Ryzen Embedded 7000 Series processors are ideal for a broad range of applications from advanced robotics and instrumentation design to power control, video surveillance, and more,” the statement reads. “They integrate key performance features and have a scalable design.”
According to Kevin Krewell, principal analyst at TIRIAS Research, “it is critical to provide differentiated and scalable offerings while still meeting power, performance, and budget requirements” for embedded industrial applications. “Designed to meet a broad range of use cases, the new AMD Ryzen Embedded 7000 Series is a great option for industrial applications in a market that will only grow and diversify over time.”
Assisting the ecosystem
Advantech is thrilled to introduce their ATX motherboard, the AIMB-723. The AMD Socket AM5 chipset is incorporated into this motherboard for the first time, improving the capabilities of industrial applications at the edge. In addition to offering excellent computational capability, the AIMB-723 is scalable enough to accommodate a discrete GPU card with up to three slots and an extra card with three frame grabbers for machine vision applications. Advantech’s AIMB-723 industrial motherboard powered by Ryzen 7000 Series processors accommodates a wide range of communication protocols and I/O interfaces, meeting traditional PCI expansion needs while simultaneously accelerating performance-demanding AOI applications.
“ASRock Industrial is the world’s top provider of industrial motherboards and systems. It is a seasoned AMD partner committed to innovative co-creations. They are excited to present the innovative Mini-ITX motherboard, the IMB-A1002, which is equipped with the B650 chipset and AMD Ryzen Embedded 7000 Series processors. They want to achieve remarkable new heights in edge performance by utilizing the capability of the “Zen4” CPU core, AM5 socket, integrated AMD Radeon RDNA 2 graphics, DDR5 memory, and PCIe 5.0. This will allow customers to develop industry-leading embedded solutions for a variety of AIoT applications.”
