AMD Launches Embedded EPYC 3000 and Ryzen V1000 Processors
AMD today introduced two new product families - the AMD EPYC Embedded 3000 processor and AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 processor - to enter a new age for high-performance embedded processors. AMD EPYC Embedded 3000 brings the power of "Zen" to a variety of new markets including networking, storage and edge computing devices, while AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 targets medical imaging, industrial systems, digital gaming and thin clients. These new AMD Embedded processors deliver breakthrough performance, exceptional integration and on-chip security.
"Today we extend the high-performance x86 'Zen' architecture from PCs, laptops and the datacenter to networking, storage and industrial solutions with the AMD EPYC Embedded and AMD Ryzen Embedded product families, delivering transformative performance from the core to the edge," said Scott Aylor, corporate vice president and general manager, Datacenter and Embedded Solutions Business Group, AMD. "AMD EPYC Embedded 3000 raises the bar in performance for next-generation network functions virtualization, software-defined networking and networked storage applications. AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 brings together the 'Zen' core architecture and 'Vega' graphics architecture to deliver brilliant graphics in a single chip that provides space and power savings for medical imaging, gaming and industrial systems. With these high-performance products, AMD is ushering in a new age for embedded processors."Several customers announced products based on AMD EPYC Embedded 3000 and AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000, including:

is the EPYC one Snowy Owl?
if not can anyone clarify, I need to add these to the cpu database
Man I wish they would make a socketed version of those 3000 series Epycs...
Then again, like any predatory business I suppose casino operators don't enjoy being reminded that their main function is harming people. Oh well. Gotta care for the poor casino owners, I guess.
Yeah, call it how it is. I agree @Valantar
As for legal definitions, I suppose that stems from this first being put into law in a time when these were the only publicly available forms of game play outside of non-gambling card games and a scant few board games. An interesting historical artifact, if nothing else.
As for the embedded X86 market for slot machines and other somewhat graphically intensive applications, my impression is that AMD has pretty much owned this market for years already. See above. If you somehow read my post as me saying "this isn't a market worth selling to", you need to check your glasses or some such.
