ACC996

ACC996 is a high-performance, low-power application processor developed by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) for embedded and industrial computing applications. Introduced as part of AMD’s embedded and semi-custom processor lineup, the ACC996 is designed to deliver robust computing capabilities in resource-constrained environments such as industrial automation, medical devices, and IoT gateways.

The ACC996 is based on AMD’s x86 architecture, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of software and operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and real-time operating systems (RTOS). It integrates a dual-core CPU with support for up to 64-bit instruction sets, providing balanced performance for demanding workloads while maintaining energy efficiency. The processor also features integrated graphics capabilities, enabling display output and multimedia processing without requiring additional components.

Key features of the ACC996 include support for DDR4 memory, PCIe 3.0 interfaces, and a variety of I/O options, such as USB, SATA, and Gigabit Ethernet. Its design emphasizes reliability and thermal efficiency, making it suitable for applications requiring continuous operation in challenging environments. The chip is manufactured using advanced semiconductor processes to optimize power consumption and performance per watt.

The ACC996 is part of AMD’s broader embedded processor portfolio, which includes other models like the ACC1000 series, catering to different performance and power requirements. It is often paired with AMD’s embedded motherboards and development platforms to simplify integration into end products. Due to its x86 compatibility and robust feature set, the ACC996 is favored in industries where legacy software support and high reliability are critical.
