SANTA CLARA, California, January 5, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) introduced the AMD Ryzen™ AI Embedded processors, a new portfolio of embedded x86 processors designed to power AI-powered applications at the edge. From digital cockpits in automotive and smart healthcare to physical AI for autonomous systems including humanoid robotics, the new P100 and

The processors integrate the powerful ‘Zen 5’ core architecture for scalable x86 performance and deterministic control, an RDNA 3.5 GPU for real-time visualization and graphics, and an XDNA 2 NPU for low-latency, low-power AI acceleration – all in a single chip.

“As industries push for immersive AI experiences and faster on-device intelligence, they need high performance without added system complexity,” said Salil Raje, senior vice president and general manager of AMD Embedded. “The Ryzen AI Embedded portfolio brings together industry-leading CPU, GPU and NPU capabilities in a single device, enabling smarter, more responsive automotive, industrial and autonomous systems.”

The portfolio includes P100 series processors, aimed at automotive and industrial automation experiences, and X100 series processors with higher CPU core counts and AI TOPS performance for more demanding physical AI and autonomous systems.

Purpose-built for in-vehicle experiences
Launching today, the P100 series processors feature 4 to 6 cores and are optimized for next-generation digital cockpits and HMI (human-machine interfaces), enabling real-time graphics for in-vehicle infotainment displays, AI-driven interactions and multi-domain responsiveness. They deliver up to 2.2x multi-thread and single-thread performance improvement over the previous generation³ensuring deterministic control in a compact 25x40mm BGA package. With an operating range of 15–54 watts and support for environments from –40°C to +105°C, it is built for heavy-duty edge systems with limited power and space and a 10-year life cycle.

Immersive graphics and on-device AI acceleration
The P100 series processors integrate an RDNA 3.5 GPU, delivering an estimated 35% faster rendering performance¹ to power up to four 4K (or two 8K) digital displays simultaneously at 120 frames per second. The AMD video codec engine enables low-latency high-fidelity streaming and responsive playback without taxing the CPU.

Next-generation AMD XDNA 2 NPU delivers up to 50 TOPS, for up to 3x faster AI inference performance⁴. XDNA 2 architecture combines understanding of voice, gestures and environmental cues using supported AI models including vision transformers, compact LLMs and CNNs.

Open, secure software stack for faster system design
Ryzen AI Embedded processors provide a consistent development environment with a unified software stack spanning the CPU, GPU, and NPU. At the runtime layer, developers benefit from optimized CPU libraries, open-standard GPU APIs, and a native XDNA architecture AI runtime powered by Ryzen AI Software.

The entire software stack is built on the open-source, Xen hypervisor-based virtualization framework that securely isolates multiple operating system domains. This allows Yocto or Ubuntu to power the HMI, FreeRTOS to manage real-time control, and Android or Windows to support richer applications, all running safely in parallel. With an open source foundation, long-term OS support, and an ASIL-B compliant architecture, they help customers reduce costs, simplify customization, and accelerate the path to production for automotive and industrial systems.

Availability of products
AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P100 processors with 4-6 cores are being tested with early access customers. Tools and documentation are available and production deliveries are expected in the second quarter. The P100 series processors with 8 to 12 cores aimed at industrial automation applications are expected to begin sampling in the first quarter. Sampling of X100 series processors, which offer up to 16 cores, is expected to begin in the first half of this year.
