AMD has finally unveiled its Ryzen 8000 series embedded processors designed specifically for industrial artificial intelligence applications. The new models promise to compete in the artificial intelligence market with their built-in neural processing units (NPUs).

Features of the AMD Ryzen 8000 series embedded processor

The Ryzen 8000 series is built on AMD’s Zen 4 CPU architecture and RDNA 3 GPU architecture. Additionally, it offers an integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) based on the new XDNA architecture. This NPU is specifically designed for artificial intelligence tasks and provides up to 16 tera operations per second (TOPS) of neural network computing performance.

AMD claims that when CPU, GPU, and NPU features are combined, the Ryzen 8000 series can achieve 39 TOPS of artificial intelligence power. With its customized power, it can handle tasks such as visual inspection, predictive maintenance, and autonomous robotics in industrial conditions.

In addition to the integrated NPU, the Ryzen 8000 series features up to 8 Zen 4-based CPU cores and 16 threads. The chips are manufactured using TSMC’s 4nm process and support DDR5-5600 memory.

Other features include support for 20 PCIe Gen 4 standard storage, hardware acceleration for popular video codecs, and the ability to support four independent 4K displays.

AMD has introduced four models in the Ryzen 8000 series with TDPs ranging from 15W to 54W. The core counts range from 6 to 8, and the boost frequencies go up to 5.1 GHz.

• AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS – 3.8 GHz – 5.1 GHz – 8 – 16 – 35-54W
• AMD Ryzen Embedded 8840U – 3.3 GHz – 5.1 GHz – 8 -16 – 15-30W
• AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS – 4.3 GHz – 5 GHz – 6 – 12 – 35-54W
• AMD Ryzen Embedded 8640U – 3.5 GHz – 4.9 GHz – 6 – 12 – 15-30W
