AMD just revealed the processing chip for Atari VCS

AMD just revealed the processing chip for Atari VCS. The Ryzen Embedded R1000 SoC promises to be faster, cooler, and more efficient, and it’s being used to power the new Atari VCS console. It includes built-in Ethernet, native 4K video support with modern HDCP, and a secure frame buffer that fully supports DRM videos like those found on Netflix and other streaming apps, Variety reports.

“With the AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 powering the Atari VCS, we can support the 4K 60fps HDR content that users expect from a modern, secure gaming and entertainment system,” said Michael Arzt, COO of Atari Connected Devices. “AMD’s new Ryzen Embedded SoC will also help protect the VCS’ environment and content as we support an unprecedented open-access model that allows Atari’s highly-creative community to install any other operating system side by side with the Atari OS.”

Atari is going to come with more than 100 classic Atari titles like “Asteroids,” “Centipede,” “Breakout,” and “Missile Command.” Fans can access and download additional titles and content via the console’s storefront when it launches.

According to a press release, this new chip includes built-in Ethernet, Native 4K video support, and secure frame buffer which supports DRM video such as Netflix, HBO, and other streaming services.
