PR AMD Announces Completion of Class B Qualification for First Space-Grade Versal Adaptive SoCs Enabling On-Board AI Processing in Space

[Pressemitteilung]

— First shipments of radiation-tolerant Versal AI Core devices delivering high-bandwidth signal processing and AI inferencing for space applications on track for early next year —

SANTA CLARA, Calif. 11/15/2022

AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announced it has completed Class B qualification for the company’s first space-grade Versal™ adaptive SoCs. The XQR Versal™ AI Core XQRVC1902 devices deliver full radiation tolerance, accelerated AI inferencing and high-bandwidth signal processing performance for satellite and space applications. The completion of Class B qualification, derived from the US military specification MIL-PRF-38535, allows the devices to begin shipping in early 2023.

The radiation-tolerant XQR Versal AI Core XQRVC1902 devices represent a major leap forward in enabling sophisticated on-board data processing and AI inferencing applications in space. Until now, highly complex AI applications could only be performed with custom-designed ASICs, which are prohibitively expensive for most space programs.
