AMD announces Versal Premium Series Gen 2 enabling new levels of system acceleration to meet the demands of data-intensive workloads

AMD announced the AMD Versal Premium Series Gen 2, an adaptive SoC platform designed to deliver the highest levels of system acceleration for a wide range of workloads. Versal Premium Series Gen 2 will be the FPGA industry’s first devices featuring Compute Express Link (CXL) 3.1 and PCIe Gen6 as well as LPDDR5X memory support in hard IP.

These next-generation interface and memory technologies access and move data rapidly and efficiently between processors and accelerators. CXL 3.1 and LPDDR5X help unlock more memory resources faster to address the growing real-time processing and storage demands of data-intensive applications in data center, communications, test and measurement, and aerospace and defense markets.

“System architects are constantly looking to pack more data into smaller spaces and move data more efficiently between parts of the system,” said Salil Raje, senior vice president and general manager, Adaptive and Embedded Computing ...
