First 5nm embedded processors with Radeon graphics and support chipset
AMD has launched its first 5nm embedded processors with Radeon graphics units for industrial applications.
The 5nm AMD Ryzen Embedded 7000 Series processor family combines up to 12 Zen 4 architecture cores with integrated Radeon graphics and a seven year supply for industrial automation, machine vision, robotics and edge servers with an ATX format board.
The Ryzen Embedded 7000 is also the first socketed parts for embedded, using the AM5 socket with a 40mm x 40mm, 1718 pin Land Grid Array with a thermal envelope (TDP) from 65W to 105W. IT also supports Support for Dual-Channel ECC DDR5 memory at speeds up to 5200MT/s and up to 28 lanes of PCIe 5 connectivity on-chip.
“Our customers are clamouring for DDR5 for the next generation and the PCIe Gen5 provides up to 28 lanes to connect high speed peripherals,” said David Rosado in the embedded team at AMD.
“This is the first time that AMD has included graphics in the socketed devices. This solves a problem for customers that can use native graphics for video displays without having to commit extra PCIe lanes for a graphics card. This has been seen as a godsend for our industrial customers.”

AMD has also developed ‘south bridge’ extension controllers to boost the PCI Express and USB connectivity further.
“Three chipsets enable additional connectivity, for up to 44 lanes of PCIe, a south bridge environment for expansion with USB, SATA ports and you can daisy chain these chipsets for more data,” said Rosado.
The X600 is an activator for 28 lanes of PCIe while the B650 can be used for modular designs, where a module can be attached on the factory floor. This uses four of the PCI lanes but adds up to 8 lanes of Gen4 PCIe and 4 flex lanes, as well as more USB3.2 and USB2 lines. The X670 adds 12 lanes of PCIe with more flex PCIe and more USB3 and USB2.
Key customers have had early access and are launching ATX motherboards using the embedded processor chip.
“Advantech is excited to launch its AIMB-723 ATX motherboard. This is the first industrial-grade motherboard integrated with the AMD Socket AM5 chipset, enhancing the capabilities of industrial applications at the edge. The AIMB-723 delivers high computing performance as well as providing the scalability to support up to a three-slot discrete GPU card and an additional three-frame grabber card for machine vision applications. This not only accelerates performance-demanding AOI applications but also caters to legacy requirements for PCI expansion, accommodating a wide range of communication protocols and I/O interfaces,” said Linda Tsai, President of Industrial IoT at Advantech
ASRock Industrial is using the Ryzen Embedded 7000 Series processors with the B650 chipset for a wide range of AIoT applications, says Handsome Tzeng, President of ASRock Industrial.
