WHAT IS AMD RYZEN 

The processors from the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 and AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 series combine powerful “Zen” CPUs with the “Vega” GPU architecture. The integration helps to save space and enables particularly compact board designs with excellent cooling and high graphics performance. With fanless, low-power design and excellent 4K playback for up to three or even four independent displays, the new additions are particularly suitable for compute-intensive applications and demanding graphics applications. These are ideal for digital signage and medical applications where there are high expectations for graphics.

WHY AMD RYZEN 

  • Breakthrough performance of “Zen” and “Vega” architectures combined.
  • IPC performance increase of 52% on CPU and 200% improvement in throughput/clock on GPU
  • Performance equivalent to discrete GPUs on an APU
  • Integration of powerful CPU, GPU, and extensive I/O functions on a single SoC with power scaling between 12 and 54 W
  • High performance in a small form factor – for a more compact card design, lower total power consumption and lower total cost of ownership
  • AMD Secure Root-of-Trust Technology: Runs only the software you want to run.
  • AMD Secure Run Technology: Encrypts data in main memory and provides cryptographic isolation from other virtual machines, clients, and even the hypervisor itself
  • AMD Secure Move Technology: Enables secure migration of VMs

COM EXPRESS® Compact Type 6 with AMD Ryzen™ Embedded V/R1000 Series APUs

The mITX-VR1000 V2.0 is a motherboard in mini-ITX form factor equipped with AMD Ryzen V1000 series processors. It is especially suitable for medical displays, thin clients or industrial PCs and other applications where it can bring support for up to four independent displays in 4K resolution to the table. The mITX-VR1000 V2.0 integrates up to 4 CPU and 11 GPU cores. It has a SATA 3.0 port, seven USB ports, one mPCIe, enables the connection of SSDs via M.2 interfaces (Key B and Key M) and has a PCIe x16 slot, which can be used to connect wireless modules or application-specific expansions, for example. Three GbE LAN ports ensure sufficient throughput even for large data volumes.

The COMe-cVR6 (E2), which measures just 95 x 95 mm, also supports up to four independent displays and offers up to 48 gigabytes of DDR4 ECC RAM. In addition to two SATA interfaces, there are also two serial interfaces, a high-resolution audio interface, Gigabit Ethernet ports, five PCIe slots as standard, and a total of eight USB ports. With the planned long-term availability of ten years, the COMe-cVR6 is also suitable for demanding projects.

The 3.5″ SBC-VR1000 is a single board computer in 3.5 inch format for the AMD Ryzen embedded processors V1000 and R1000. Up to three monitors can be controlled independently of each other. For this purpose, one LVDS, DP and HDMI 2.0 port each is available. Depending on the model (V1000 or R1000), two USB 3.1 ports and four or six USB 2.0 ports are available. Two DDR4 2400 SO-DIMM sockets take up to 32 GB of working memory.  Besides two SATA III ports, an NVMe SSD can be used on an M.2 socket (Key M). Network connectivity is possible via two GbE LAN ports, an mPCIe slot allows application-specific expansions.

The industrial motherboard D3713-V/R mITX is equipped with up to four DisplayPorts, one embedded display port and one dual-channel LVDS (24bit) and powers up to four independent displays in 4K resolution. Depending on how much (graphical) power is required, 6 motherboard versions with different AMD processors are available. It is with integrated AMD Radeon™ Vega Graphics and can be used in applications with high graphical requirements like casinos, medical displays, thin clients and industrial PCs.

Kontron’s new COM Express® Basic Type 6 module COMe-bV26 is made for computing applications in medical diagnostics and the operating room: In addition to impressively powerful processor-integrated graphics, they offer massive computing power to run AI algorithms in parallel thanks to their 8 compute cores and up to 7 AMD Radeon™ Compute Units. The result is optimized imaging for faster medical diagnostics.

CONSULTING & SUPPORT FROM AARONN ELECTRONIC
