AMD has unveiled its new Ryzen R1000 Embedded processors, a SoC-like chip that will bring the next Atari VCS video game console to life.

Ryzen R1000 will bring the next Atari VCS console to life

The Ryzen R1000 Embeded processor comes in a BGA-mounted SoC design. This means that it does not install on a normal PC motherboard. The processor is based on Zen + architecture combined with the Vega 3 graphics engine.

AMD's new SoC processor is focused on portable devices, such as the Smach Z for games, or the aforementioned Atari VCS, but it can also be extremely useful in the field of robotics, industrial equipment, digital signage, network equipment, etc.

In total there are two processors that make up the R1000 family, the R1606G and R1505G. Both are somewhat more modest versions than the V1000 series, and it comes with 2 cores and 4 threads.

AMD places special emphasis on the ability to handle 3 displays with 4K resolution and 60 frames per second, plus dual 10Gb Ethernet connection support. In performance tests, both chips prove to be superior to Whiskey Lake-based Intel Core i3, specifically the i3-8145U and i3-7100U.

Complete Specifications

In the full specification table, we see that the R1606G has a base frequency of 2.6 GHz and can reach 3.5 GHz in 'Boost' and 5 MB of L2 + L3 cache. The R1505G, meanwhile, has a base frequency of 2.4 GHz and reaches 3.3 GHz with the same amount of L2 + L3 cache. The only difference there would be between them would be that of the clock frequency. They both have a TDP between 12 and 25 W.

AMD strives for the best performance-to-watt ratio, with a 3x performance-per-watt improvement over previous-generation models, and up to 4x performance per dollar.

The chips will be available this quarter for OEMs and ODMs.
