AMD Launches Ryzen Embedded R1000 SoC
AMD has introduced a new series of embedded processors. There are two variants of the Embedded R1000 APU. Both are dual cores that can work on four threads and an Vega 3 GPU. Atari will place ine in their VCS console.
The Ryzen Embedded R1000 updates the previous AMD Embedded R-Series SoC with the AMD ‘Zen’ cores to deliver the high-performance, rich multimedia capabilities and advanced security features established by its predecessor, the Ryzen Embedded V1000, in a more value conscious package. The Ryzen Embedded R1000 can support up to three 4K displays at up to 60 FPS, meeting the industry’s growing demand for immersive and high-resolution display experiences, while also sharing other features established in the AMD Embedded family including 10Gb Ethernet ports and leading-edge security features.
The new SoC will be available this quarter to ODMs and OEMs worldwide and is already supported by numerous hardware and software companies including Advantech, ASRock, DFI, iBase, Netronome, Stratacache and many others. The Ryzen Embedded R1000 SoC will also power the upcoming Atari VCS game system.
The AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 continues to provide the embedded industry with the high-performance, rich multimedia capabilities and advanced security features established with the Ryzen Embedded V1000. Specifically, as the embedded industry demands more immersive and engaging visual experiences, customers need processors that can support high-resolution displays with demanding graphics. The AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 supports up to three 4K displays at up to 60 FPS, while providing H.265 Encode/Decode(10b) and VP9 decode capabilities. This enables OEMs and ODMs to deliver a compelling visual experience.
As well, the Ryzen Embedded R1000 utilizes the same leading-edge security features of the AMD embedded family, including Secure Root of Trust and Secure Run Technology, giving customers the features for enabling secure solutions, whether they are connected into an edge computing network, or running a digital display.

Interesting tech. I am dubious re: the atari console though, seems a little underpowered for a 300 euro console?

It will depends on the games and tittles , if indie games are to be their thing is great for that , newer triple A games might struggle to get 30fps at low resolutions yes.

Heck yeah they are making ataris with it. This would be awesome for a lot of emulators. MAME, N64, SNES, SEGA, and basically all classic systems would run great on this. Seems a very workable solution for an arcade cabinet too.

is funny how Vega was intended to be a great solution for high performance computing and graphics, but it has been a king just in low performance graphics (Good performance for the wattage and price)

I have been using an Athlon 200GE wish is a Ryzen 2 cores 4 threads with Vega 3 graphics APU on my daily HTPC. Same chip as this AMD RyzenTM Embedded R1000 SoC , this chip almost use no power at all and do not produce any heat if overclocked on the stock cooler. Now i can see why atari will be using this chip on their new atari consoles as the performance is quite good for the low cost , low wattage requirements on them
