Announcing New AMD Versal™ Prime Series Gen 2 Devices: Industry-Leading Scalar Compute, Smaller Form Factor

AMD began shipping the first production units of the AMD Versal™ Prime Series Gen 2  2VM3858 device in late 2025. Since then, the Versal 2VM3558 device has also entered full production, and the Versal 2VM3358 device is now sampling and on track to reach production later this year. With the majority of previously-announced Versal Prime Gen 2 adaptive SoCs now in customers’ hands, today AMD is announcing the expansion of this portfolio with three new devices: the Versal 2VM3454, 2VM3254, and 2VM3104. These new adaptive SoCs deliver up to 100k DMIPs of scalar compute in packaging as small as 23 mm x 23 mm for embedded applications in Pro AV, broadcast, industrial IoT, and beyond.

Next-Level Performance, Optimized for Area

Versal Prime Series Gen 2 adaptive SoCs combine high-performance embedded CPUs for scalar processing, world-class programmable logic, cutting-edge video encode/decode IP, and support for DDR5 & LPDDR5X memory to enable next-generation embedded systems. The earliest Versal Prime Gen 2 devices, the 2VM3858, 2VM3558, and 2VM3358, feature 8 Arm® Cortex®-A78AE application cores and 10 Cortex-R52 real-time cores, delivering up to 10X scalar compute vs. previous AMD Versal or Zynq™ UltraScale+™ adaptive SoCs.^{1, 2} While this level of compute is compelling for applications such as avionics and robotics that involve complex algorithms, decision making, and control, it comes with footprint and resource trade-offs that aren’t ideal for every use case.

The Versal 2VM3454, 2VM3254, and 2VM3104 devices and the previously announced Versal 2VM3654 device offer an optimized processing system (PS) featuring 4 Cortex-A78AE application cores, 6 Arm Cortex-R52 real-time cores, and a smaller Arm Mali™-G78AE GPU. While still delivering up to 5X scalar compute vs. existing AMD adaptive SoCs,^{3, 4} and more scalar compute than any competing FPGA SoC or adaptive SoC in the market today,⁵ these devices offer multiple advantages for area-constrained applications:

•  23 mm x 23 mm packaging options for the Versal 2VM3254 and 2VM3104 devices – 27% smaller than the previous minimum package size in the Versal Prime Series Gen 2
• More programmable logic per square millimeter versus comparably sized eight-core Versal Prime Series Gen 2 devices

Scalable for Embedded Systems with Evolving Needs

We designed Versal Prime Series Gen 2 adaptive SoCs with scalability in mind. The combination of a common processing system architecture with an expanded range of device densities and available package sizes allows customers to strike the right balance of performance, power, and size in each of their products, all while maximizing software and IP reuse. Additionally, we offer the Versal 2VM3654, 2VM3454, 2VM3254, and 2VM3104 devices in a common footprint, allowing board designers to build a single hardware platform that supports any of these four devices. This migration path provides customers with the flexibility to select the optimal device for each application without updating their PCB design. With these capabilities, Versal Prime Series Gen 2 devices enable increased engineering efficiency and reduced time to market, particularly as system requirements evolve over time.

Start Today with Early Access Design Tools

The Versal Prime Series Gen 2 2VM3654 and 2VM3454 adaptive SoCs will start sampling later this year, and early access design tools for the Versal 2VM3654 are available now. These devices are also an excellent entry point for customers interested in the Versal 2VM3254 or 2VM3104 devices prior to their expected availability in 2027. To get started with the Versal Prime Series Gen 2 2VM3654 or 2VM3454 adaptive SoCs, contact sales to request enrollment in the early access program.
