Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) announced through a press release that it is extending its AI leadership with the second-generation Versal Series Gen2 system with an AI-driven adaptive single-chip (SoC). This new generation of AMD Versal Series Gen 2 AI is capable of up to 10x more computations per second compared to the previous version. The Versal Series Gen 2 devices increase and extend performance along with advanced functional safety and security, delivering new capabilities and features that enable the design of high-performance products that are optimized for automotive, aerospace and defense, industrial, monitoring and healthcare applications. Versal Prime Gen 2’s 10x AI compute speeds also make them suitable for high-definition video processing, including 8K resolution , multi-channel worker nodes, and applications for streaming, ultra-high definition (UHD) video recording, and aerospace computing.
Adaptive and Embedded Group senior vice president and general manager Salil Raje said: “Demand for embedded applications with artificial intelligence is skyrocketing, calling for the need for single-chip solutions to provide the most effective end-to-end acceleration within high-performance, embedded systems.” “Backed by more than 40 years of development in adaptive computing, this latest generation of Versal devices combines multiple computing solutions on a single architecture that offers high computational efficiency and performance with scalability from low-end to high-end.”
Subaru is interested in this second generation, which will be fitted to new Subaru cars.
The Japanese automaker is among the first customers to announce plans to use AMD Versal’s second-generation AI Edge Series Gen 2 technology for Subaru’s EyeSight system , the most advanced driver assistance technology with lane-keeping assist, intelligent braking and throttle control. EyeSight is integrated into select Subaru models to enable advanced safety features including adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist and accident avoidance braking. Subaru already uses AMD’s adaptive SoC technology in current vehicles that are equipped with EyeSight.
Director General of Advanced Integration System & ADAS Development Department, Engineering Division, Subaru Corporation Satoshi Katahira said: “Versal AI Edge Gen 2 devices are designed to deliver the AI derivation performance, ultra-low latency and functional safety features needed to put cutting-edge AI-based safety features in the hands of drivers.”
These facts have attracted multinational investment corporations and private investors to buy shares of Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:AMD), for which an average target price of USD 201.26 per share has been set for the short to medium term investment horizon.
