(PR) AMD Unveils 6th Gen EPYC Embedded Processors

What happened

AMD announced the AMD EPYC Embedded 9006 Series SP7 CPUs, expanding its x86 processor portfolio optimized for embedded customer requirements and deployments. Built on the 'Zen 6' core architecture, the CPUs combine up to 256 cores, scalable PCIe Gen 6 and CXL 3.1 connectivity, and security from secure boot through runtime. They offer a throughput increase of up to 1.8x compared with the previous generation 5th Gen AMD EPYC 9005 Series processors, targeting semiconductor automated test equipment (ATE), enterprise storage and network firewall applications. The series also provides seven-year product longevity, support for post-quantum cryptography for firmware signing, and ongoing security updates. This is a product launch announcement with no price change, capacity change or discontinuation information; the source does not state the cause (no causal event).
