— AMD Ryzen™ Embedded Pro­ces­sors add low-power opti­ons for designs of 10W or less —

— New plat­forms from cus­to­mers expand use of AMD Embedded Pro­ces­sors —

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 25, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announ­ced the expan­si­on of the AMD Ryzen™ Embedded eco­sys­tem with two new AMD Ryzen™ Embedded R1000 low-power pro­ces­sors that pro­vi­de cus­to­mers with a new TDP ran­ge of 6 up to 10 watts. AMD also announ­ced new cus­to­mers offe­ring Mini PCs based on the AMD Ryzen Embedded pro­ces­sors from Sap­phi­re, SECO, Sim­ply NUC and others.

“AMD is ushe­ring in a new age of high-per­for­mance com­pu­ting for the embedded indus­try,” said Raj­nee­sh Gaur, cor­po­ra­te vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Embedded Solu­ti­ons, AMD. “We are doing this with cut­ting-edge tech­no­lo­gy to dis­play immersi­ve gra­phics in 4K reso­lu­ti­on with AMD Ryzen Embedded pro­ces­sors, and we are now offe­ring access to high per­for­mance in power-effi­ci­ent solu­ti­ons with the­se new low-power Ryzen Embedded R1000 processors.”

New AMD Ryzen Embedded Processors
In April 2019, AMD laun­ched an expan­si­on to the Ryzen Embedded pro­ces­sor lin­e­up with the AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 SoC. Built on “Zen” CPU and Rade­on™ “Vega” gra­phics cores, the Ryzen Embedded R1000 pro­ces­sor deli­vers 3X bet­ter CPU per­for­mance per watt¹ com­pared to the pre­vious gene­ra­ti­on AMD R‑series Embedded pro­ces­sor, and 4X bet­ter CPU and gra­phics per­for­mance per dol­lar than the com­pe­ti­ti­on².

The AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 fami­ly now includes two new pro­ces­sors desi­gned for effi­ci­ent power enve­lo­pes, the Ryzen™ Embedded R1102G and R1305G pro­ces­sors. The new pro­ces­sors sca­le from 6 up to 10 watts of TDP respec­tively, while also giving cus­to­mers the abili­ty to redu­ce sys­tem cos­ts with less memo­ry DIMMS and lower power requi­re­ments. With this low power enve­lo­pe, the­se embedded pro­ces­sors give cus­to­mers the abili­ty to crea­te fan­less sys­tems, ope­ning new mar­kets that can levera­ge the high-per­for­mance Ryzen Embedded pro­ces­sors. The­se two new pro­ces­sors are expec­ted to be available for order at the end of March.

Cus­to­mers adop­ting the Ryzen Embedded R1102G and R1305G include Kon­tron with a sca­lable mini-ITX plat­form and Sim­ply NUC with a new mini PC unit cal­led Red Oak, which offers afforda­ble main­stream per­for­mance solu­ti­ons with a cost opti­mi­zed fea­ture set to its lin­e­up of Ryzen Embedded based Mini PCs.

A Gro­wing Ryzen Embedded Mini PC Ecosystem
In Decem­ber 2019, AMD, along with OEM part­ners, announ­ced that it was enab­ling an open eco­sys­tem for AMD Ryzen Embedded based Mini PCs, sup­port­ing indus­tries inclu­ding display/signage, enter­pri­se and indus­tri­al com­pu­ting. That list is expan­ding to include:

• Sapphire’s new 4x4 plat­forms based on AMD Ryzen Embedded Pro­ces­sors: the BP-FP5 and NP-FP5 embedded boards,
• Sim­ply NUC with the new Post Oak and Red Oak Mini PCs, based on the Ryzen Embedded R1000 and V1000 processors,
• SECO and its AMD Ryzen Embedded Pro­ces­sor based Mini PC KIT, the UDOO BOLT GEAR, that can dri­ve up to 4 screens in 4K reso­lu­ti­on at 60fps at the same time.

As well, OnLo­gic announ­ced the avai­la­bi­li­ty of pre­vious­ly announ­ced Mini PCs based on AMD Ryzen Embedded processors.

About AMD
For 50 years AMD has dri­ven inno­va­ti­on in high-per­for­mance com­pu­ting, gra­phics and visua­liza­ti­on tech­no­lo­gies ― the buil­ding blocks for gam­ing, immersi­ve plat­forms and the dat­a­cen­ter. Hundreds of mil­li­ons of con­su­mers, lea­ding For­tu­ne 500 busi­nesses and cut­ting-edge sci­en­ti­fic rese­arch faci­li­ties around the world rely on AMD tech­no­lo­gy dai­ly to impro­ve how they live, work and play. AMD employees around the world are focu­sed on buil­ding gre­at pro­ducts that push the boun­da­ries of what is pos­si­ble.
