AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B
Benchmarks & Specs

The AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B is a quad-core processor with a base clock frequency of 2.2 GHz. Since this is a processor for professional environments or very small systems, the processor does not have a Turbo mode to increase the clock frequency of its CPU cores. The performance is accordingly lower.

In return, the processor is very stable and emits very little waste heat. It is specified with a TDP of 16 watts. The CPU cores are based on the first AMD Zen design (Ryzen 1xxx), which is still manufactured in 14 nm. AMD calls the architecture "Great Horned Owl". The Level 2 Catch is 2 MB. Its Level 3 cache isnt particularly large either with only 4 MB. The processor belongs to AMDs V-Series V1000 series, which targets the business sector and is supported for 10 years.

It is well suited for small NAS systems or control computers where efficiency and reliability are more important. The AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B supports up to 32GB of DDR4-3200 memory in dual memory channels. The dual-channel mode of the working memory for doubling the memory bandwidth is thus supported. The working memorys ECC error correction method is also supported by the processor. However, a compatible motherboard and working memory with ECC support is also required to use ECC.

The processor is soldered to the mainboard in the FP5 socket and cannot be replaced later. Although the processor was already introduced by AMD in Q1 2018, it can still be found in current systems in 2021. The processor does not have internal graphics (iGPU) and is therefore rather intended for headless systems that are set up and monitored remotely. In return, it can score in network connectivity and supports dual 10 GBE LAN.
