STOCKS | AMD and Samsung Partner on Next-Generation Embedded Processors

AMD and Samsung Electronics are collaborating on next-generation embedded processors, industry sources said Wednesday. According to Sina Finance, AMD launched its sixth-generation AMD EPYC Embedded 9006 series on Tuesday, featuring Samsung's enterprise memory and storage solutions, people familiar with the matter said. Samsung Electronics executive Choi Jang-seok said advances in storage and input/output technology require manufacturing test environments to evolve to meet rising performance and bandwidth demands, and said Samsung looked forward to working with AMD to bring these capabilities to its manufacturing test infrastructure. The new processors offer throughput of up to 1.8 times that of the previous generation and are designed for industrial applications requiring high-performance computing. Through the partnership, Samsung aims to obtain the computing power, memory bandwidth, and high-speed data processing capabilities needed to validate next-generation memory performance.
