Today AMD announced a new generation of embedded parts. The new generation brings Zen 3 and PCIe Gen4 to the embedded market. What is also interesting is that not only do we get features that we would expect, but AMD is also bringing DDR5 to the platform.

Here is the block diagram for the V3000 series:

AMD’s dual 10GbE networking also supports 2.5GbE. Hopefully, we see more of these in the future. Here is AMD’s full feature list for the new series.

The interesting part of these chips may just be what they do not show. AMD does not mention integrated graphics. The graphics side has been a hallmark of the V-series APUs/CPUs since the V1000 launch.

Final Words

AMD’s new processors are probably what many have been hoping to see from an AMD EPYC 3000 series update. Hopefully, we will see the new series gain more traction and show up in more devices. It seems like the Vx000 series has more traction than the EPYC 3000 series. AMD previously said that the V1000 and V2000 series were being used in applications like gaming (think casino machines) and for instruments with displays. Also, AMD is not updating to Zen 4 here where it would get access to VNNI and AI acceleration built-in, a feature quickly becoming standard in edge processors. At the same time, we have DDR5 with Zen 3.

  1. So the V3000 series has no graphics? Is this confirmed?

    It would be really strange, because there definitely will be newer ryzen embedded CPUs with integrated GPU at some point in time. Why not call this headless series something Different than V-Series which is known to have an IGP?
