AMD has begun shipping its first Versal Prime Series Gen 2 2VM3858 units late 2025, followed by 2VM3558 in full production and 2VM3358 sampling for later‑year release. With most earlier models already in customer hands, the company now adds three new devices—2VM3454, 2VM3254, and 2VM3104—to its adaptive‑SoC lineup for high-end embedded solutions worldwide.

The new chips pack up to 100k DMIPs of scalar compute in a 23 mm × 23 mm package, targeting Pro AV, broadcast, industrial IoT, and other embedded markets. Each unit blends eight Arm Cortex‑A78AE cores, ten Cortex‑R52 real‑time cores, and a Mali‑G78AE GPU, delivering up to 10X scalar compute versus earlier AMD Versals or Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ devices today globally.

The newer 2VM3454, 2VM3254, and 2VM3104 models trim the processing system to four Cortex‑A78AE cores and six Cortex‑R52 cores, still achieving up to 5X scalar compute over existing adaptive SoCs while shrinking the footprint. Their common 23 mm × 23 mm envelope lets designers build a single board that supports any of the four parts without redesign in production.

AMD also offers early‑access design tools for the 2VM3654 and 2VM3454, enabling customers to prototype before the 2VM3254 and 2VM3104 reach production in 2027. By standardizing the footprint across five variants, the company reduces engineering cycles and accelerates time‑to‑market for evolving embedded systems that demand high performance in tight spaces for innovation and productivity globally.
