AMD Ryzen Embedded V3000 for Storage and Networking Devices

Based on the results from AMD tests, the new processors deliver up to 124% greater CPU performance, a 50% improved DRAM memory transfer rate, and a 2x CPU core count. AMD has also improved performance and low-power options required for demanding 24×7 operating environments and workloads. The V3000 series processors deliver higher performance and power efficiency levels for “always-on” storage and networking.

Now shipping to leading embedded ODMs and OEMs, AMD Ryzen Embedded V3000 processors address the increasing demands of enterprise and cloud storage, as well as data center network routing, switching, and firewall security features. The new processors can power a variety of diverse use cases ranging from virtual hyper-converged infrastructure to advanced systems at the edge.

AMD’s corporate VP and GM, Embedded Solutions Group, Rajneesh Gaur, said:

“We designed AMD Ryzen Embedded V3000 processors for customers seeking a balance of high-performance and power-efficiency for a wide range of applications in a compact BGA package. AMD Ryzen Embedded V3000 processors deliver a robust suite of features with advanced benefits required for superior workload performance in enterprise and cloud storage and networking products.”

V3000 Options

AMD Ryzen Embedded V3000 processors are available in four-, six- and eight-core configurations with low thermal design power (TDP) profiles spanning from 10W to 54W for storage and networking systems to enable an exacting balance of performance and power efficiency in a compact design. The new processors allow system designers to leverage a single board design for an increased range of system configurations, with ball grid array (BGA) packaging and low thermal dissipation allowing for the creation of versatile, flexible designs to ease system integration.
