Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is leveraging its technology position as the sole provider of both CPU (central processing unit) and GPU (graphics processing unit) technologies to expand in the data center and VR (virtual reality) space. AMD is also expanding the application to other fast-growing markets of networking, storage, and edge computing devices.

Intel (INTC) and NVIDIA (NVDA) are also expanding in these markets. However, earnings growth in these areas could materialize in the long term when 5G technology deployment begins.

AMD’s embedded technology
In February 2018, AMD launched two embedded processors that deliver scalable computing over a range of TDP (thermal design power). They also deliver security at the silicon level.
EPYC Embedded 3000 processor
The AMD EPYC Embedded 3000 processor brings Zen architecture to networking, storage, and edge computing devices. It features enterprise-grade reliability, availability, and serviceability that allow the processor to detect, correct, recover, and contain data. The processor is scalable from four to 16 cores and can support TDP ranges from 30W (watts) to 100W.

Because of this flexibility, the processor can be used in high-computing, power-intensive applications like networking as well as low-power, low-computing applications like edge computing. AMD claims that EPYC Embedded 3000 delivers twice the connectivity as Intel’s Xeon D 1587 processors. AMD works to apply its strategy to deliver a better price-to-performance ratio than its competitors.

Ryzen Embedded V1000 processor
AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 processor brings the combination of Zen CPUs and Vega GPUs to medical imaging, industrial systems, digital gaming, and thin clients. It features four cores/eight-thread CPUs and 11 GPU compute units that enable it to deliver up to 3.6 TeraFLOPS (floating-point operations per second) performance.

The Ryzen Embedded V1000 processor is scalable and supports TDP ranges from 12W to 54W, and it can be for high-performance devices and reduced power consumption for energy-conscious applications. As the Vega GPU is more powerful, the Ryzen Embedded V1000 delivers three times more GPU performance than the Intel Core i7-7700HQ.

All these product launches show that AMD is not only back in the PC market, but it’s preparing to compete with Intel and NVIDIA in the growing markets of machine learning, virtual reality, and edge computing.
