The AMD Ryzen Embedded V3C48 is a desktop processor with 8 cores, launched in September 2022. It is part of the Ryzen Embedded lineup, using the Zen 3+ (Rembrandt) architecture with Socket FP7. Thanks to AMD Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) the core-count is effectively doubled, to 16 threads. Ryzen Embedded V3C48 has 16 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.3 GHz by default, but can boost up to 3.8 GHz, depending on the workload. AMD is building the Ryzen Embedded V3C48 on a 6 nm production process, the transistor count is unknown. The silicon die of the chip is not fabricated at AMD, but at the foundry of TSMC. The multiplier is locked on Ryzen Embedded V3C48, which limits its overclocking capabilities.
With a TDP of 45 W, the Ryzen Embedded V3C48 consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. AMD's processor supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 4800 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. 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 V3C48 uses a PCI-Express Gen 4 connection. This processor does not have integrated graphics, you will need a separate graphics card.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Ryzen Embedded V3C48, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) will run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, AMD is including the newer AVX2 standard, too, but not AVX-512.
