AMD Ryzen Embedded V3000 SoC uses 6nm Zen 3 architecture core
At the end of last year, AMD released Ryzen Embedded V2000, introducing Zen 2 architecture to the embedded market for the first time. Using the 7nm manufacturing process makes AMD’s core number double that of the original Ryzen Embedded V1000 SoC, and the maximum configuration core number has been increased from 4 to 8 and the performance per watt has been increased by two times, the instruction per cycle (IPC) throughput has increased by 15%, the single-threaded performance has increased by 30%, and the graphics performance has increased by 40%.
This series of products is designed for groups that target long-life applications such as MiniPC, industrial systems, slimming machine customers, etc., but the release time is later than the Ryazen 5000 series desktop processors using Zen 3 architecture. However, Twitter user @patrickschur_ recently revealed the news of the next generation of products based on the Zen 3 architecture. Compared with Ryzen Embedded V2000, the new generation of Ryzen Embedded V3000 will have a relatively large upgrade in terms of specifications.
Unlike the current Ryzen 5000 series desktop processors, the Ryzen Embedded V3000, which also has the Zen 3 architecture, will be manufactured using a 6nm process. So far, in addition to the APU code-named Rembrandt, this is another product that will use the 6nm process. From this point of view, some AMD product lines are likely to switch processes during the upgrade process.
The specifications of Ryzen Embedded V3000 will be between 6 cores and 12 threads to 8 cores and 16 threads, support dual-channel DDR5-4800 memory and ECC and will be equipped with two USB 4.0 ports. The GPU will also be greatly improved, using the RDNA 2 architecture to provide up to 12 computing units. The PCIe standard will also be upgraded from PCIe Gen3 to PCIe Gen4, but the number of channels will remain at 20.
It is not clear when AMD will release Ryzen Embedded V3000. After all, the previous generation of Ryzen Embedded V2000 has only been launched for 7 months, and it is estimated that it will take a while.
