AMD To Release Ryzen V1000 SoC To Take on Intel Gemini Lake
2017 has been the year of the rise of AMD in everything regarding processors. From entry-level up-to enthusiast class with Threadripper and Epyc. With Ryzen 2000G just launching and the Zen+ updates in April. They do not stop there, you can now add to that an SoC development, as the low-power embedded market was still left untouched, meet the Ryzen V1000.
The AdvenTech website is showing a motherboard that holds an AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000-processor, the preliminary product page for a SOM-5871 has been pulled btw but was showing the embedded R-Series SoC line based on the same a Zen Core already, the AMD V1000 SoC. So what exactly is the V1000 SoC you might wonder?
AMD V1000 SoC
The V1000 is actually based on Raven Ridge, but developed under what you guys might remember us posting back in 2016 already, the AMD R-Series "Horned Owl" and G-Series “Banded Kestrel.” These two parts are big updates to AMD’s embedded SoC line. When we go back to the Advantech SOM-5871 product page we can see product specifications listed as the AMD V1000 supports a core/thread of “2/4/8.” This means dual, quad and octa-core likely with threaded SKUS as well.
This SoC series will see 1MB or 2MB cache with TDPs in the 12 to 54 Watt ranges. Being a SoC it has a built-in I/O chipset. The clock frequencies have not been listed but much like the Ryzen 5 2400G it should get a Vega GPU with 11 compute units including H.265 decode and encode and VP9 decode and Ultra HD support. An earlier leaked iBase Mini-ITX revealed the Vega and CPU core count as well as the up to 32GB of dual-channel DDR4-2400/3200 with optional ECC. the AdvenTech page has been showing.

They did release them in the past also, but since they had a bad performing core architecture, nobody took them as noteworthy news.
Now with the Zen core, being good in general performance and very good in power consumption, everything it touches, it is a win.
I bet that consoles will get a very nice boost if they would get a 8 core / 16 threads Zen 2 on 7nm with Navi or whatever GPU AMD will have in 1-2 years time. Sure, all of this coupled with HBM3, like a boss.

It was just amd building hype and us waiting and then they delivered the crap that is Piledriver.
AMD in general was a lot of hype up and talk and then just failing to hit expectations.

This could make for some very good AMD based NAS's and Mini-ITX/Pico-ITX boards...

It's been so long, it's weird seeing AMD release actual CPU products.
