AMD Unveils Embedded+ Architecture; Combines Embedded Processors with Adaptive SoCs to Accelerate Time-to-Market for Edge AI Applications
07 February 2024 - 1:00AM
AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announced the launch of AMD Embedded+,
a new architectural solution that combines AMD Ryzen™ Embedded
processors with Versal™ adaptive SoCs onto a single integrated
board to deliver scalable and power-efficient solutions that
accelerate time-to-market for original design manufacturer (ODM)
partners.
Validated by AMD, the Embedded+ integrated compute
platform helps ODM customers reduce qualification and build times
for faster time-to-market without needing to expend additional
hardware and R&D resources. ODM integration using Embedded+
architecture enables the use of a common software platform to
develop designs with low power, small form factors, and long
lifecycles for medical, industrial, and automotive
applications.
“In automated systems, sensor data has
diminishing value with time and must operate on the freshest
information possible to enable the lowest latency, deterministic
response,” said Chetan Khona, senior director of Industrial,
Vision, Healthcare and Sciences Markets, AMD. “In industrial and
medical applications, many decisions need to happen in
milliseconds. Embedded+ maximizes the value of partner and customer
data, with energy efficiency and performant computing that enables
them to focus in turn on addressing their customer and market
needs.”
In a first of its kind, Embedded+ architecture
combines leadership AMD x86 compute with integrated graphics and
programmable hardware for critical AI inferencing and sensor fusion
applications. Adaptive computing excels in deterministic,
low-latency processing, whereas AI Engines improve high
performance-per-watt inferencing. Ryzen Embedded processors, which
contain high-performance “Zen” cores and Radeon™ graphics, also
offer world-class rendering and display options for uplifted 4K
multimedia experience and a built-in video codec for 4K H.264/H.265
encode decode.
The combination of low latency processing and high
performance-per-watt inferencing enables high performance of key
tasks, including integrating adaptive computing in real-time with
flexible I/O, AI Engines for inferencing, and AMD Radeon graphics,
within a solution that leverages the best aspects of each
technology.
Sapphire Technology delivers inaugural AMD
Embedded+ ODM solution Embedded+ also allows system
designers to choose from an ecosystem of ODM board offerings based
on the Embedded+ architecture and scale their product portfolios to
deliver performance and power profiles best suited to customers’
target applications.
The first ODM solution based on Embedded+
architecture is the Sapphire Edge+ VPR-4616-MB, a low-power
Mini-ITX form factor motherboard from Sapphire Technology. It
offers the full suite of capabilities in as low as 30W of power by
leveraging the Ryzen Embedded R2314 processor and Versal AI Edge
VE2302 Adaptive SoC. The VPR-4616-MB is also available in a full
system, including memory, storage, power supply, and chassis.
“By working with a compute architecture that is
validated and reliable, we’re able to focus our resources to
bolster other aspects of our products, shortening time to market
and reducing R&D costs,” said Adrian Thompson, senior vice
president of global marketing, Sapphire Technology. “Embedded+ is
an excellent, streamlined platform for building solutions with
leading performance and features.”
The Embedded+ qualified VPR-4616-MB from Sapphire
Technology is immediately available to customers for purchase at
launch.
