SolidRun has launched its first x86-based computer on module (CoM) for networking using AMD's Zen 3-powered V3000 embedded APUs. The new CX7 CoM comes equipped with one of AMD's eight-core V3000 chips, and features up to 96GB of DDR5 memory, three slots for PCIe 4.0 SSDs, and a plethora of connectivity.
For SolidRun, CX7 represents a big performance upgrade compared to its prior Arm-based CoMs, which used older stock Cortex cores.
The CX7 is remarkably dense in computing power and connectivity. It features an 8-core Zen 3 APU from the V3000 embedded series (the same as the Ryzen 6000 series). There are two SKUs, the 15-watt V3C18I model or the 45-watt V3C48 chip. The APU can be paired with up to two 48GB sticks of DDR5 for a total of 96GB, and 12 of the chip's 20 PCIe 4.0 lanes can be used for NVMe storage.
