@asdf Looks like dual 10GbE is still an option on the V2000 series. The reality with the V1000 series is it was almost never used. One of the few examples I can think of taking advantage of it on the V1000 series was Deciso B.V.’s Netboard A10 Gen3 for their OPNSense appliances — I know this only because I have their DEC750 router appliance (2700 series are the rackmount version) which has dual SFP+ and three 1GbE ports. Fantastic 10GbE router that idles at ~8W and can shove nearly 2Gbps of IPSec (or 10Gbps unencrypted WAN traffic) at only 16-17W.

Never forget the Process node that’s utilized to diffuse these APUs and that’s going to be GF’s 12nm, or maybe 12nm+, node and really that’s got to be less costly for embedded usage for Wafer costs. Maybe the tech press should be asking for more info besides what’s provided in the marketing slides/materials like has the Video encode/decode been updated to a newer version or is this all the same as the Ryzen 3000 series Branded Zem+ APUs that where released years ago. I have a laptop that has the Ryzen 5 3550H(Vega 8 Integrated Graphics) and this part(45W Part) appears to be that but using Ryzen R2000 series branding. But has AMD enabled some Ryzen Pro like features for these Embedded parts.

AMD’s ROCm/HIP software stack, that’s supposed to be serving as AMD’s equivalent to Intel’s OneAPI, How well is that supported on the Vega Integrated Graphics? The Tech Press is just not considering AMD’s Software/Driver/API support on these and other generation APUs with Integrated graphics but the hardware is worthless without Driver/API ecosystem support and that’s got to be supporting the latest there so ROCm/HIP support on AMD’s integrated Vega graphics(Used across 5 generations of Ryzen APUs of all end mart usage, Consumer, Pro/Embedded) what’s that ROCm/HIP support level currently.

The V2000 series upgraded to Zen 2, so I would have expected the R2000 to follow suit. The published specs are also very thin, there’s e.g. no mention of what kind, or how many network interfaces there are.

When is AMD going to make a true Denverton competitor at 35w and under?

Amusing/unfortunate typo in last sentence of third paragraph.

AMD seems to be having a pretty rough time breaking into the embeded market (having great success everywhere else), but like you said most of these devices have very long lifecycles.

Do you think that some of the hardship they’ve faced is because of the shared architecture (with their standard desktop cpu cores) of their offering vs Intel having dedicated offerings (those Atom cores just now making their way into mainstream cpus)?

Or am I completely off on these/missing the point?
