AMD Crushes Competition with EPYC Embedded 9005 Chips

AMD just released their new EPYC Embedded 9005 processors for servers. These chips come permanently attached to the motherboard instead of fitting into sockets. Companies use these when they never plan to upgrade the processor later. Despite being fixed in place, these chips work exactly like regular EPYC 9005 Turin processors. They use the same chiplet design and run on the latest Zen 5 technology. The main difference? These come in BGA form, meaning they're soldered directly to circuit boards.

These embedded processors include several helpful extras. They feature non-transparent bridging, which lets data move quickly between two processors even when they use different memory areas. This happens through a PCIe 5.0 connection rather than other fancy methods. When power suddenly cuts out, these chips can instantly save everything from memory to storage drives before shutting down. After power returns, the system loads everything back into memory. The chips also support two flash interfaces, allowing designers to put small operating systems directly on 64 MB flash storage alongside the main system BIOS.

AMD offers these embedded Turin processors with different core counts ranging from just eight cores up to a massive 192 cores. The biggest models can include up to 512 MB of L3 cache memory. They support 160 PCIe Gen 5 lanes for connecting various devices. Memory speeds reach 614 GB/s across twelve DDR5 memory channels. The lineup includes both standard Zen 5 models with eight cores per CCD and also Zen 5c versions that pack 16 cores into each CCD for higher-density computing.

The most powerful models use Zen 5c cores to reach extremely high core counts. These include the 128-core EPYC Embedded 9745, the 160-core EPYC Embedded 9845, and the enormous 192-core EPYC Embedded 9965. For standard Zen 5 cores, the top model maxes out at 128 cores with the EPYC Embedded 9755. Each processor comes with specific clock speeds and power ratings depending on its intended use case and performance level.
