AMD SVP Salil Raje noted that AI-driven network traffic, exploding data storage requirements, and the expansion of industrial edge computing drive the demand for higher compute performance in embedded platforms.

AMD EPYC Embedded 9005 Series processors are designed to power compute-intensive embedded systems, supporting core counts from 8 to 192 in a single socket.

The new "Zen 5c" core architecture offers higher throughput and greater energy efficiency.

AMD is working closely with Cisco Systems, Inc CSCO and International Business Machines Corp IBM to bring next-generation processors to market.

AMD is reportedly divesting ZT Systems' data center infrastructure production capabilities to Taiwan's Compal Electronics Inc, Inventec Corp, Pegatron Corp, and Wistron Corp. However, AMD had also remained adamant about not changing its focus priority from its primary GPU roadmap.

AMD is also reportedly considering using Intel's 18A manufacturing process for its needs.

Price Action: AMD stock is up 1.85% at $98.42 premarket at last check Tuesday.

AMD stock plunged over 51% in the last 12 months.
