AMD Unveils 256-Core Zen 6 EPYC Embedded 9006 Processor Lineup

AMD announced Tuesday, Nov. 10, a 256-core EPYC Embedded 9006 processor family based on Zen 6 for automated semiconductor test equipment, enterprise storage controllers and network firewalls. Models range from 64 to 256 cores and use 16 DDR5 memory channels. The EPYC Embedded 9006 platform supports up to 96 PCIe Gen 6 lanes operating at 64 GT/s, as well as CXL 3.1. Memory speeds reach 8,000 MT/s for RDIMMs and 12,800 MT/s for MRDIMMs. AMD claims the family can provide up to 2.7 times the previous generation’s memory bandwidth and 1.5 times its I/O bandwidth. The company also claims up to 1.8 times the prior generation’s throughput on the SPECrate2017_int_base benchmark, which measures integer performance.
