Advantech reportedly discovered AMD's Ryzen 5000 Embedded CPUs after mentioning them in their ad for the AIMB-552 Industrial motherboard.

Embedded PCs are essentially computers designed with a specific function in mind. Your microwave controller is one illustration. Such machines are powered by embedded CPUs, as the name implies. In contrast to multi-purpose CPUs, they frequently have their own ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) and use a lot less power.

Since the release of the Ryzen 5000 series CPUs more than two years ago, Zen4 has been on the horizon. Unexpectedly, AMD is now introducing its "embedded" range for Zen3.

These new CPUs have different specifciations than their desktop counterparts. 

  • AMD Ryzen 9 5950E 12 cores / 24 threads 
  • AMD Ryzen 9 5900E 10 cores / 20 threads
  • AMD Ryzen 7 5800E 8 cores / 16 threads 
  • AMD Ryzen 5 5600E 6 cores / 12 threads
The TDP also changes in comparison to their desktop variants.

  • The R9 5950E has a TDP of 105W
  • The R9 5900E has a TDP of 105W
  • The R9 5800E has a TDP of 100W
  • The R5 5600E has a TDP of 65W
With DeviceOn support, AMD's X570 chipset is compatible with AMD's embedded CPUs. Although the price is still unclear, it will be fascinating to see how AMD charges for scaled-down versions of their previous Zen3 design.
