AMD stock: Versal security devices target 2027 sampling

AMD stock traded at 485.35 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 16:03 CET on Friday, November 13, 2026, 8.92 percent below the Xetra close of Thursday, November 12. The quote was also 7.31 percent below the 523.65 euros recorded in our latest report at 13:02 CET on Friday.

AMD announced the new Versal tamper-resistant product line on Thursday, November 12. In its AMD Newsroom, the company said the devices combine heterogeneous computing with built-in protection against specified physical attacks on the silicon backside.

Security enters the product roadmap

AMD said a sensor-based protection die is bonded to the main compute die using 3D active-on-active technology. The design is intended to detect specified physical attacks and prevent boot if the protection die is tampered with or removed.

The Versal TR portfolio comprises three devices: 2VE3358TR, 2VE3558TR and 2VE3858TR. AMD said the products target security-critical applications including data center networking, fintech, defense and critical industrial infrastructure. The company also highlighted cryptographic features such as support for ML-DSA and SLH-DSA hardware acceleration.

Sampling comes before production

AMD expects the first Versal TR devices to sample in the second half of 2027 and move to production in the first half of 2028. Customers can begin development with selected footprint-compatible standard Versal AI Edge Series Gen 2 devices and later transition to the tamper-resistant versions.

The planned timetable makes customer evaluation and the path from sampling to production the next execution milestones. AMD also cautioned that tamper-resistant does not mean tamper-proof and that protection applies to specified physical attack methods.
