On this episode of Embedded Insiders, Wayne Lyons, AMD’s Automotive Senior Director, provides an update on AMD’s automotive business, trends, and vision for the future. Wayne also dives into the company’s recent advancements in automotive processors like the Versal AI Edge Series, and their success with companies deploying their solution, like Subaru.

Various applications today rely on advanced and efficient video processing infrastructure capable of simultaneously managing multiple high-density and ultra-low latency video streams. 

AMD has introduced the Ryzen™ Embedded 8000 Series processors, the first AMD embedded devices to combine NPUs based on the AMD XDNA™ architecture with traditional CPU and GPU elements, optimized for workload versatility and adaptability targeting industrial AI applications.

Embedded and edge computing designs can often benefit from out-of-the-box hardware solutions that eliminate the need for extra components like FPGAs but can still support safety-critical and high-performance applications like smart city and smart factory applications.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., -- AMD announced the launch of AMD Embedded+, a new architectural solution that combines AMD Ryzen™ Embedded processors with Versal™ adaptive SoCs onto a single integrated board to help ODM customers reduce qualification and build times by eliminating the need to expend additional hardware and R&D resources.

Control system architects and embedded software developers are often tasked with initiating and advancing systems, each with diverse requirements in demanding environments. To streamline the development process, developers can make use of an out-of-the-box solution that provides simplified workflows, easy integration and functionality, hardware inclusion, accessibility, and more.

Santa Clara, California. AMD will highlight its new Versal AI Edge XA adaptive SoC and Ryzen Embedded V2000A Series processor during CES 2024. The first AMD 7nm device to be auto-qualified, the Versal AI Edge XA leverages an advanced AI Engine to innovate automotive systems and applications. The SoC is ideal for forward cameras, in-cabin monitoring, LiDAR, 4D radar, surround-view, automated parking, and autonomous driving. The Ryzen Embedded V2000A Series powers the next-generation of infotainment consoles, digital clusters, and passenger displays. According to AMD, it brings the first x86 auto-qualified processor family into the automotive world.
