Advantage is these raise the bar on the CPUs that get used in these devices which is usually bottom of the barrel to begin with. I don't see it's xilinx purchase manifested which would be a great fit for embedded.
At a TDP of 65+ Watts these unfortunately wont be supplanting Atom-esque SoC's anytime soon. I'm not sure what devices these are meant for, and frankly I'm not sure AMD knows either since they have zero partner announcements and don't give any examples outside of 'NAS and firewall' which is not only vague, but misguided, since the U-series parts with 15w TDP (configurable up or down) are more appropriate.
They lack a few PCIe lanes but the 6xxxU still have 20 4.0 lanes for plenty of storage and network IO.
I assumed it would be for something like high-end rackmount routers/switches - I've seen plenty of Cisco platforms that use desktop-class CPUs for things like chassis switch supervisors and linecards.

"The AMD Ryzen Embedded 5800E is the only SKU in the line-up with a configurable TDP, which can be configured between 65W and 100 W."wait, so you can't lower all these below 65w? i thought i can on regular, maybe i should check settings again

They probably calculate TDP differently on embedded products.Threska - Saturday, April 22, 2023 - link
