AMD Adds UCIe Support to Select Versal Adaptive SoCs

Aug 27, 2026
AMD will add native UCIe 1.1 support to select Versal RF Series adaptive SoCs, with production chiplets expected in the fourth quarter of 2027.

AMD announced that select Versal RF Series adaptive SoCs will support Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express 1.1 interfaces. The support is designed to let Versal devices communicate directly with chiplets in the same package for workloads such as RF, AI, CPU, GPU, security, communications, and ASIC functions.

Select Versal RF Series devices will support up to four UCIe-SP interfaces and up to two UCIe-AP interfaces, with aggregate bandwidth at multiple terabits per second inside the package. The devices combine high resolution RF data converters, dedicated DSP IP, AI Engines, and programmable logic, and provide up to 80 TOPS of DSP compute.

The UCIe connections will support use with RF analog front ends, AI acceleration chiplets, CPUs, GPUs, custom security engines, communications processors, and application specific ASICs. Production chiplets are expected to be available with select Versal RF Series devices in the fourth quarter of 2027.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
