The AMD Ryzen Embedded V2A46 is a desktop processor with 6 cores, launched in January 2023. It is part of the Ryzen Embedded lineup, using the Zen 2 (Renoir) architecture with Socket FP6. Thanks to AMD Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) the core-count is effectively doubled, to 12 threads. Ryzen Embedded V2A46 has 8 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3 GHz by default, but can boost up to 3.2 GHz, depending on the workload. AMD is making the Ryzen Embedded V2A46 on a 7 nm production node using 9,800 million transistors. The silicon die of the chip is not fabricated at AMD, but at the foundry of TSMC. The multiplier is locked on Ryzen Embedded V2A46, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 35 W, the Ryzen Embedded V2A46 consumes only little energy. AMD's processor supports DDR4 memory with a quad-channel interface. ECC memory is supported, too, which is an important capability for mission-critical systems, to avoid data corruption. For communication with other components in the system, Ryzen Embedded V2A46 uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor features the Radeon Graphics 448SP integrated graphics solution.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Ryzen Embedded V2A46, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, AMD is including the newer AVX2 standard, too, but not AVX-512.
