AMD has just released the Ryzen Embedded V3000 series CPUs, featuring an upgraded Zen 3 core designed to provide reliable, scalable processor performance for a variety of storage and networking systems. Compared to the V1000 series, the V3000 series has higher CPU performance, DRAM transfer rate, number of CPU cores, and I/O connectivity options. It combines advanced performance with low-power options and can withstand harsh 24×7 operating environments and workloads.

AMD has shipped Ryzen Embedded V3000 series processors to the industry’s leading embedded ODM/OEM manufacturers.
In addition to meeting the growing need for security features such as routing, switching, and firewalling in the enterprise, cloud storage, and data center networking environments, it is also suitable for advanced system use cases ranging from virtualized hyperconverged infrastructure to the edge.
Rajneesh Gaur, vice president and general manager of AMD’s Embedded Solutions Group, said:
"The newly designed AMD Ryzen Embedded V3000 processor is designed to help customers achieve a balance between high performance and power efficiency in a compact BGA package. It provides a robust set of features and advanced performance benefits required for exceptional workloads in enterprise, cloud storage and networking products."
It is reported that the AMD Ryzen Embedded V3000 series offers 4/6/8 core options with low TDP (thermal design power) configurations from 10-54W. Take storage and networking systems, for example, which can be designed with a precise balance of performance and energy efficiency in a compact package.
For system designers, the AMD Ryzen Embedded V3000 series supports a wide range of single-board system configurations. The BGA package and low TDP feature make it ideal for creating more versatile and flexible designs that simplify system integration.
Shane Rau, research vice president for computing semiconductors at IDC, noted:
Storage and networking require a different balance of data processing performance, mobility, power consumption and thermal management than traditional computing.
In addition, processors for storage and networking applications need to balance compute, memory, and I/O capabilities in terms of rack space utilization, energy efficiency, and low heat.
This means that this market segment requires x86-compatible processors optimized for core data center and edge infrastructure systems.
And major chip manufacturers and equipment suppliers will help their OEM customers to significantly expand their system TAM while securing their existing investments in the x86 ecosystem.
