AMD announced its embedded processor roadmap for 2014 at a press conference Monday night, part of its continued path away from the PC.
The four new chips include "Hierofalcon," a dedicated ARM 64-bit CPU designed for communications and networking functions within the datacenter. Probably its closest competition is the "Rangeley" chip that Intel has announced, using the most recent "Silvermont" version of its Atom architecture.
AMD announced four new chips: "Hierofalcon"; "Adelaar," a discrete GPU; "and "Steppe Eagle" and "Bald Eagle," both of which AMD calls "Advanced Proccessing Units" or APUs, combining CPUs and a graphics core. All four will be manufactured in 28-nm process technology.

AMD still maintains a sizeable presence in the PC, notebook, and server markets, but Intel clearly dominates: AMD's share in the PC space, for example is less than 20 percent. As AMD has slowly dropped behind Intel in terms of sales and market share, the company has worked to find alternatives to the traditional PC space where it can succeed.
