From CRN: AMD said Tuesday that its new EPYC Embedded 2005 CPUs offer big advantages in performance, energy use, size and features compared to rival products from Intel.
Set to enter production in the first quarter of next year, the Embedded 2005 series processors pack up to 35 percent faster base CPU frequency using half the power of Intel’s Xeon 6503P-B and coming in a form factor that is 2.4 times smaller, AMD claimed.
With AMD marketing the chips for AI networking, storage and industrial edge use cases that need to operate around the clock, the Santa Clara, Calif.-based company said that the Embedded 2005 series provide a balance of compute, energy efficiency and I/O capabilities that Intel can’t offer with a single product.
On one hand, there’s Intel’s Xeon D-2700 and D-2800 processors, which scale from four to 22 cores but use 65-135 watts and only support the last-generation PCIe Gen 4 for connectivity and DDR4 for memory.
