At the Tai­wan Embedded Forum, AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) announ­ced the Ryzen™ embedded pro­duct fami­ly is gro­wing with the new AMD Ryzen™ Embedded R1000 SoC. Buil­ding upon the suc­cess of the Ryzen™ Embedded V1000 SoC, the AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 SoC pro­vi­des embedded cus­to­mers with dual core, quad-threa­ded per­for­mance, as well as the abili­ty to run fan­less, low power solu­ti­ons for 4K dis­plays; while pro­vi­ding lea­ding-edge secu­ri­ty fea­tures. The AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 is per­fect for appli­ca­ti­ons in digi­tal dis­plays, high-per­for­mance edge com­pu­ting, net­wor­king, thin cli­ents and more.

Cus­to­mers like Advan­tech, ASRock Indus­tri­al, IBASE, Netro­no­me, Quix­ant and others are alre­a­dy working on Ryzen Embedded R1000-based pro­ducts. As well, Ata­ri^© is using the high-per­for­mance Vega 3 gra­phics and ‘Zen’ CPU archi­tec­tu­re in the AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 SoC to power the upco­ming Ata­ri VCS™ game system.

“The AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 builds out the Ryzen Embedded fami­ly and pro­vi­des a com­pel­ling opti­on for cus­to­mers that want access to the powerful ‘Zen’ and ‘Vega’ archi­tec­tu­re and are loo­king for a high­ly com­pe­ti­ti­ve power/performance solu­ti­on,” said Ste­phen Turn­bull, direc­tor of pro­duct manage­ment and busi­ness deve­lo­p­ment, Embedded Solu­ti­ons, AMD. “The Ryzen Embedded R1000 can sup­port rich mul­ti­me­dia envi­ron­ments for digi­tal dis­plays and casi­no gam­ing, enter­pri­se class secu­ri­ty fea­tures for edge com­pu­ting, net­wor­king and thin cli­ents, and, most important­ly intro­du­ces a new class of per­for­mance while pro­vi­ding cus­to­mers with soft­ware and hard­ware com­pa­ti­bi­li­ty with the exten­ded Ryzen Embedded family.”

Growing the Ryzen Embedded Family

The AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 con­ti­nues to pro­vi­de the embedded indus­try with the high-per­for­mance, rich mul­ti­me­dia capa­bi­li­ties and advan­ced secu­ri­ty fea­tures estab­lished with the Ryzen Embedded V1000.

Spe­ci­fi­cal­ly, as the embedded indus­try demands more immersi­ve and enga­ging visu­al expe­ri­en­ces, cus­to­mers need pro­ces­sors that can sup­port high-reso­lu­ti­on dis­plays with deman­ding gra­phics. The AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 sup­ports up to three 4K dis­plays at up to 60 FPS, while pro­vi­ding H.265 Encode/Decode(10b) and VP9 decode³ capa­bi­li­ties. This enables OEMs and ODMs to deli­ver a com­pel­ling visu­al experience.

As well, the Ryzen Embedded R1000 uti­li­zes the same lea­ding-edge secu­ri­ty fea­tures of the AMD embedded fami­ly, inclu­ding Secu­re Root of Trust and Secu­re Run Tech­no­lo­gy, giving cus­to­mers the fea­tures for enab­ling secu­re solu­ti­ons, whe­ther they are con­nec­ted into an edge com­pu­ting net­work, or run­ning a digi­tal display.

New Customers Driving Early Adoption

As an indus­try lea­der in cus­to­mer facing mar­ke­ting tech­no­lo­gy inclu­ding digi­tal signage, STRATACACHE picked the AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 and Ryzen Embedded V1000 pro­ces­sors to power new mul­ti-out­put digi­tal signage play­ers ser­ving the STRATACACHE, Sca­la, X2O Media and Real Digi­tal Media pro­duct fami­lies. The play­ers take advan­ta­ge of the Ryzen Embedded plat­form, as well as the out­stan­ding GPU per­for­mance to enable pre­mi­um 4K visu­al experiences.

“The bene­fit of the AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 and V1000 is it allo­wed us dri­ve down the cost of mul­ti-out­put 4K expe­ri­en­ces,” Chris Rie­gel, CEO of STRATACACHE. “Both the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 and R1000 pro­vi­ded us the gra­phics per­for­mance we nee­ded in a sin­gle sys­tem on a chip that would have pre­vious­ly requi­red more cos­t­ly CPU and dis­crete GPU pairs, ther­eby saving us sys­tem cos­ts and pro­vi­ding a smal­ler, more power effi­ci­ent foot­print that’s powerful enough to run mul­ti­ple 4K dis­plays sup­port­ing our world class CMS platforms.”

Netro­no­me, a lea­der in high-per­for­mance, intel­li­gent ser­ver and sto­rage net­wor­king solu­ti­ons, is using the AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 SoC for new advance­ments in net­wor­king solu­ti­ons, secu­ri­ty appli­ances and edge cloud com­pu­ting. “The bene­fit of the AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 for us is to expand our pro­duct ran­ge using the same high per­for­mance ‘Zen’ CPU cores, pro­vi­ding enter­pri­se-class secu­ri­ty fea­tures and lea­ding-edge con­nec­ti­vi­ty, as demons­tra­ted in the lar­ger Ryzen and EPYC™ pro­ces­sors,” said Mike Ben­son, SVP of Sys­tems and Plat­forms Engi­nee­ring at Netro­no­me. “Our cus­to­mers want to make sure they have secu­re and per­for­mant devices that pro­vi­de them a gre­at value, and the AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 SoC com­bi­ned with our Net­work Flow Pro­ces­sor does just that. We’re exci­ted to see the AMD Embedded port­fo­lio expand and add it into our fami­ly of products.”

Quix­ant is a glo­bal lea­der focu­sing exclu­si­ve­ly on the design and manu­fac­tu­re of the most advan­ced PC-based com­pu­ter sys­tems and moni­tors for the glo­bal gam­ing indus­try. “As a high­ly-valued launch part­ner of the AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 SoC, we are exci­ted to yet again bring high-per­for­mance embedded pro­ces­sing to the casi­no and gam­ing indus­try,” said John Malin, glo­bal sales direc­tor, Quix­ant. “Our cus­to­mers demand high qua­li­ty gra­phics and dis­plays, and AMD Ryzen embedded pro­ces­sors allow us to deli­ver that expe­ri­ence. Now with the new AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 SoC, we can con­ti­nue to deli­ver that, but at a bet­ter pri­ce per per­for­mance, bene­fiting ever­y­bo­dy. The first offe­ring is the QXi-7000 LITE — our most ver­sa­ti­le plat­form yet.”

“With the AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 powe­ring the Ata­ri VCS, we can sup­port the 4K 60fps HDR con­tent that users expect from a modern, secu­re gam­ing and enter­tain­ment sys­tem,” said Micha­el Arzt, COO of Ata­ri Con­nec­ted Devices. “AMD’s new Ryzen Embedded SoC will also help pro­tect the VCS’ envi­ron­ment and con­tent as we sup­port an unpre­ce­den­ted open-access model that allows Atari’s high­ly-crea­ti­ve com­mu­ni­ty to install any other ope­ra­ting sys­tem side by side with the Ata­ri OS.”

Mate­ri­al fac­tors that could cau­se actu­al results to dif­fer mate­ri­al­ly from cur­rent expec­ta­ti­ons include, wit­hout limi­ta­ti­on, the fol­lo­wing: Intel Corporation’s domi­nan­ce of the micro­pro­ces­sor mar­ket and its aggres­si­ve busi­ness prac­ti­ces may limit AMD’s abili­ty to com­pe­te effec­tively; AMD has a wafer sup­p­ly agree­ment with GF with obli­ga­ti­ons to purcha­se all of its micro­pro­ces­sor and APU pro­duct requi­re­ments, and a cer­tain por­ti­on of its GPU pro­duct requi­re­ments, from GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (GF) with limi­t­ed excep­ti­ons. If GF is not able to satis­fy AMD’s manu­fac­tu­ring requi­re­ments, its busi­ness could be adver­se­ly impac­ted; AMD reli­es on third par­ties to manu­fac­tu­re its pro­ducts, and if they are unable to do so on a time­ly basis in suf­fi­ci­ent quan­ti­ties and using com­pe­ti­ti­ve tech­no­lo­gies, AMD’s busi­ness could be mate­ri­al­ly adver­se­ly affec­ted; fail­ure to achie­ve expec­ted manu­fac­tu­ring yields for AMD’s pro­ducts could nega­tively impact its finan­cial results; the suc­cess of AMD’s busi­ness is depen­dent upon its abili­ty to intro­du­ce pro­ducts on a time­ly basis with fea­tures and per­for­mance levels that pro­vi­de value to its cus­to­mers while sup­port­ing and coin­ci­ding with signi­fi­cant indus­try tran­si­ti­ons; if AMD can­not gene­ra­te suf­fi­ci­ent reve­nue and ope­ra­ting cash flow or obtain exter­nal finan­cing, it may face a cash short­fall and be unable to make all of its plan­ned invest­ments in rese­arch and deve­lo­p­ment or other stra­te­gic invest­ments; the loss of a signi­fi­cant cus­to­mer may have a mate­ri­al adver­se effect on AMD; AMD’s receipt of reve­nue from its semi-cus­tom SoC pro­ducts is depen­dent upon its tech­no­lo­gy being desi­gned into third-par­ty pro­ducts and the suc­cess of tho­se pro­ducts; AMD pro­ducts may be sub­ject to secu­ri­ty vul­nerabi­li­ties that could have a mate­ri­al adver­se effect on AMD; data brea­ches and cyber-attacks could com­pro­mi­se AMD’s intellec­tu­al pro­per­ty or other sen­si­ti­ve infor­ma­ti­on, be cos­t­ly to reme­dia­te and cau­se signi­fi­cant dama­ge to its busi­ness and repu­ta­ti­on; AMD’s ope­ra­ting results are sub­ject to quar­ter­ly and sea­so­nal sales pat­terns; glo­bal eco­no­mic uncer­tain­ty may adver­se­ly impact AMD’s busi­ness and ope­ra­ting results; AMD may not be able to gene­ra­te suf­fi­ci­ent cash to ser­vice its debt obli­ga­ti­ons or meet its working capi­tal requi­re­ments; AMD has a lar­ge amount of indeb­ted­ness which could adver­se­ly affect its finan­cial posi­ti­on and pre­vent it from imple­men­ting its stra­tegy or ful­fil­ling its con­trac­tu­al obli­ga­ti­ons; the agree­ments gover­ning AMD’s notes and the Secu­red Revol­ving Line of Cre­dit impo­se rest­ric­tions on AMD that may adver­se­ly affect its abili­ty to ope­ra­te its busi­ness; the mar­kets in which AMD’s pro­ducts are sold are high­ly com­pe­ti­ti­ve; AMD’s issu­an­ce to West Coast Hitech L.P. (WCH) of war­rants to purcha­se 75 mil­li­on shares of its com­mon stock, if and when exer­cis­ed, will dilute the owner­ship inte­rests of its exis­ting stock­hol­ders, and the con­ver­si­on of the 2.125% Con­ver­ti­ble Seni­or Notes due 2026 may dilute the owner­ship inte­rest of its exis­ting stock­hol­ders, or may other­wi­se depress the pri­ce of its com­mon stock; uncer­tain­ties invol­ving the orde­ring and ship­ment of AMD’s pro­ducts could mate­ri­al­ly adver­se­ly affect it; the demand for AMD’s pro­ducts depends in part on the mar­ket con­di­ti­ons in the indus­tries into which they are sold. Fluc­tua­tions in demand for AMD’s pro­ducts or a mar­ket decli­ne in any of the­se indus­tries could have a mate­ri­al adver­se effect on its results of ope­ra­ti­ons; AMD’s abili­ty to design and intro­du­ce new pro­ducts in a time­ly man­ner is depen­dent upon third-par­ty intellec­tu­al pro­per­ty; AMD depends on third-par­ty com­pa­nies for the design, manu­fac­tu­re and sup­p­ly of mother­boards, soft­ware and other com­pu­ter plat­form com­pon­ents to sup­port its busi­ness; if AMD loses Micro­soft Corporation’s sup­port for its pro­ducts or other soft­ware ven­dors do not design and deve­lop soft­ware to run on AMD’s pro­ducts, its abili­ty to sell its pro­ducts could be mate­ri­al­ly adver­se­ly affec­ted; and AMD’s reli­ance on third-par­ty dis­tri­bu­tors and AIB part­ners sub­jects it to cer­tain risks.  Inves­tors are urged to review in detail the risks and uncer­tain­ties in AMD’s Secu­ri­ties and Exch­an­ge Com­mis­si­on filings, inclu­ding but not limi­t­ed to AMD’s Annu­al Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended Decem­ber 29, 2018.
