Guess who's back? Back again..

Yes that's right - Despite a while ago ending official support for Vega GPU products, AMD has gone ahead and announced they are launching new Vega based products..wtf

What's the indication that the GPU is Vega apart from the guy tweeting it saying it is?

The Ryzen Embedded V2000A series is built on the 7 nm manufacturing process and, as a result, uses Zen 2 cores combined with AMD's Radeon Vega 7 graphics. Featuring up to 6C/12T with Zen 2 cores, with 7 CUs of Radeon Vega graphics, the Ryzen Embedded V2000A has support for up to four 4K displays, with dual Gigabit Ethernet, and is AEC-Q100 automotive qualified. Looking ahead to the next generation of automotive silicon and with AI as a key selling point, Ryzen Embedded V2000A has a planned availability of 10 years, which ensures companies and automotive partners adopting V200A into their vehicles are guaranteed availability.

Automotive apllications.
Supports 4 4K displays.

Seems a bit overkill

I suspect driver support will these will work differently to consumer products.

If they are for those in car screens i think its because 'to expand on what @Klo said' they already have a highly developed software eco system in place for them for very long term support "10 Years"

I dunno, with car makers pratting around making stuff with no physical dials and gauges on the dashboard any more we might be getting close to needing the display driving power of that. One screen for speed, RPMs, temperatures, voltage etc. One screen for warning lights. One or two screens for telematics.

If it brings in revenue based on older manufacturing processes and proven technologies, why not?

Using VEGA makes a lot of sense.

It is a well understood architecture, with relatively simple drivers and good compute performance. It's on an old node that is perfect for automotive, FuSa, etc.

It's analogous to the PowerPC CPU's from 2000's being used on cutting edge spacecraft today.
