AMD adopts Fire Range mobile chips for EPYC Embedded, up to 10 years of avaibility



AMD has introduced the EPYC Embedded 2005 series, a new family of “Zen 5” based x86 processors aimed at compact, power and thermally constrained designs.

The chips target embedded workloads such as network switches and routers, DPU control planes, cold storage systems, aerospace, robotics, and industrial controllers that must run around the clock while staying within tight power and space budgets. All models use a 40 x 40 mm BGA package that integrates compute and I/O for board designs where socketed server CPUs are not practical.

According to AMD, the EPYC Embedded 2005 series can deliver up to 28% higher boost CPU frequency and 35% higher base CPU frequency than a comparable Intel Xeon 6503P-B part, while doing so at half the TDP. The small BGA package is said to be 2.4x smaller than Xeon 6500P-B solutions, with the dense pin-out enabling shorter signal paths and simpler power delivery and cooling.

Reliability, security, and long-term availability are key selling points. AMD rates EPYC Embedded 2005 processors for up to 10 years of continuous field operation, with a matching 10-year ordering window and 15 years of software maintenance to support long-lived platforms.
