AMD announced on the 28th that it has launched the Ryzen Embedded V3000 series processors by adding high-performance 'Zen 3' cores to its V-series portfolio.

AMD stated that it provides enhanced CPU performance, DRAM memory transfer speeds, CPU core count, and I/O connectivity compared to the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 series. The new AMD Ryzen Embedded V3000 series processors offer the performance and low-power options required for demanding 24/7 operating environments and workloads.

Currently, AMD Ryzen Embedded V3000 processors are being supplied to major embedded ODM and OEM companies. They also explained that they respond to increasing demand in various fields, such as enterprise and cloud storage, data center network routing and switching, and firewall security.

AMD Ryzen Embedded V3000 processors can support a wide range of areas, from virtual Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) to advanced edge systems.

AMD Ryzen Embedded V3000 processors feature a compact design with 4, 6, and 8-core configurations and a low Thermal Design Power (TDP) profile ranging from 10W to 54W, enabling a balance between performance and power efficiency in storage and networking systems.

With the new AMD Ryzen Embedded V3000 processor family, system developers can configure a wide range of systems with a single-board design and implement more diverse and flexible designs thanks to the easy-to-integrate Ball Grid Array (BGA) package and low heat characteristics.
Rajneesh Gaur, AMD Vice President and General Manager of the Embedded Solutions Group, stated, “We designed the AMD Ryzen Embedded V3000 processor based on a small BGA package for customers who require a balance between high performance and power efficiency to handle a wide range of applications,” adding, “The AMD Ryzen Embedded V3000 processor is for enterprise and cloud storage with excellent workload processing performance“It provides enhanced performance and powerful features necessary to implement networking products,” they stated.

Shane Rau, Research Vice President of Computing Semiconductors at IDC, explained, “Storage and networking require a different level of data processing performance and a balance of data movement, power, and thermal management compared to traditional computing. Processors for storage and networking must provide balanced computing, memory, and I/O capabilities for rack space utilization, power efficiency, and low heat generation in space-constrained environments.”

He said, “The storage and networking markets are demanding x86-compatible processors optimized for core data center and edge infrastructure,” adding, “Processor vendors providing these must support OEM customers in significantly expanding their system TAM by leveraging their existing x86 ecosystem investments.”
