Technical Details
AMD announced new adaptive SoC family Versal Prime Gen 2: 2VM3454, 2VM3254, and 2VM3104. They are oriented on professional audio-visual equipment, broadcasting systems, and devices for industrial internet of things (IIoT). The solutions include four computing cores Arm Cortex-A78AE with 64 KB L1 cache (ECC) and 512 KB L2 cache, while the total L3 cache is 2 MB. Additionally, there is a real-time processor with six Arm Cortex-R52 cores. A single-core graphics accelerator Arm Mali-G78AE is also provided.
Context and Background
The 2VM3254 and 2VM3454 versions also received a VCU block with HEVC and AVC support (up to 4K60). The built-in memory volume is 1 MB (ECC). The programmable part of the 2VM3104 includes 225,400 logical cells and 103,040 LUT, while the number of DSP engines is 420. The 2VM3254 version has corresponding values of 302,680, 138,368, and 564, and the 2VM3454 modification has 564,760, 258,176, and 1140.
Industry Impact
The 2VM3454 model has a high-performance crypto module. The 2VM3104 and 2VM3254 devices have dimensions of 23 × 23 mm, and the 2VM3454 variant has dimensions of 29 × 29 mm. Developers can use the AMD Vivado Design Suite package for hardware design and the AMD Vitis platform for software creation. The 2VM3454 shipments will start later this year, and the 2VM3254 and 2VM3104 chips will appear in 2027.
