- The Mentor Embedded Linux and Codesourcery software tools from Mentor Graphics that provide developers with improved performance and features to grow the embedded ecosystem, available today.
- The excitement and momentum around today’s announcement from AMD is supported by several significant proof points.
AMD EPYC Embedded 3000 processor portfolio delivers:
- Up to 2.7X more performance-per dollar than the competition
- Up to 2X more connectivity than the competition
- Enterprise-grade reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features
AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 processor portfolio delivers:
- Up to 2X uplift in performance over previous generations
- Up to 3X more GPU performance than the competition
- Up to 46 percent more multi-threaded performance than the competition
- Up to 26 percent smaller footprint than the competition for optimized board design
In addition to performance, security remains a top concern for enterprise customers, whether they are designing top-of-rack switches, thin client devices or anything in between. AMD EPYC Embedded and AMD Ryzen Embedded processors help protect data at the hardware level with an on-chip secure processor, complemented by hardware validated boot capabilities to help ensure systems are booted up from trusted software. Additionally, Secure Memory Encryption (SME) deters unauthorized physical memory access while Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) offers further deterrence by encrypting virtual machine (VM) memory, without the need to make changes at the application level.

CORSAIR Launches the NAUTILUS RS and NAUTILUS RS ARGB Series of Liquid CPU Coolers
CORSAIR has launched the CORSAIR NAUTILUS RS and NAUTILUS RS ARGB family of liquid CPU Coolers. These innovative coolers deliver high-performance CPU cooling with easy installation and outstanding compatibility with modern CPU sockets. The NAUTILUS RS family is available in black in both 240mm and 360mm sizes, while the NAUTILUS RS ARGB is available in both black and white in the same sizes, with added ARGB lighting to enhance your build.
The NAUTILUS RS series features an efficient, low-noise pump and a slightly convex cold plate pre-applied with thermal paste in an optimized pattern, improving contact with the processor’s integrated heat spreader for superior thermal transfer. Available in 240mm or 360mm radiator sizes and equipped with RS120 fans, NAUTILUS RS coolers effectively maintain optimal temperatures for high-end CPUs.
NAUTILUS RS coolers are equipped with black CORSAIR RS120 fans that provide strong airflow with PWM-controlled speeds up to 2,100 RPM. The NAUTILUS RS ARGB versions feature ARGB connections, with eight RGB LEDs per fan. To make installation easier, these fans can be daisy-chained together to simplify wiring. Effortlessly connect each fan to the next, then use a single 4-pin PWM header on your motherboard for speed control and a single 4-pin ARGB header to control the lighting.
The RS120 fans are optimized for radiator use and are enhanced by CORSAIR AirGuide technology and magnetic dome bearings for directed airflow cooling performance and remarkably low noise levels.
RGB lighting isn’t everyone’s vibe. Sometimes you just want something that’s the strong, silent type, which is why the NAUTILUS RS’s black-on-black aesthetic may be the right match for a stealth build. Even the mounting hardware eschews bright chrome or nickel-plated metal for a dark and stealthy finish. Not into lights? No problem.
The NAUTILUS RS ARGB models feature eight RGB LEDs on the pump and on each fan, so you can create a captivating light show, easily controlled via motherboard ARGB software. Just plug in and start customizing with your motherboard’s ARGB software suite.
The NAUTILUS RS series of coolers includes mounting hardware for both Intel socket LGA 1700 and LGA 1851, as well as AMD AM4 and AM5-based systems, and comes with all the mounting hardware you need to attach the radiators to any case that supports a 240mm or 360mm radiator.
For optimal cooling performance, each NAUTILUS RS cooler also features pre-applied XTM60 thermal interface material (TIM). XTM60 ensures efficient thermal transfer between your CPU and the copper cold plate.
