AMD Debuts Memory-on-Package Versal SoCs to Boost Bandwidth and Cut Board Space

June 30, 2026 — AMD today announced the AMD Versal Premium Gen 2 Memory on Package (MoP) adaptive system-on-chips (SoCs). The MoP architecture integrates up to 32GB of LPDDR5X into a single package, delivering up to 288GB/s of bandwidth in up to 60% less board area, letting engineers build high-bandwidth systems without the risk and time […] The post AMD Debuts Memory-on-Package Versal SoCs to Boost Bandwidth and Cut Board Space appeared first on HPCwire .

Why this matters
Why now
