AMD is apparently back to using big numbers for its server CPUs. According to AMD's product data, the new EPYC 9996 from the "Venice" generation boasts 256 cores, 512 threads, 1 GB of L3 cache, and a TDP of 600 watts. This isn't just a minor generational leap, but a clear statement for AI-first data centers. And of course, the timing of this announcement is no coincidence, especially now, during […]
AMD EPYC "Venice" Gives Us A Preview of Zen 6-Based Ryzen "Olympic Ridge" CPUs: More Cores, More (3D V-)Cache, Clocks & Scalable Configs
AMD has launched its first Zen 6 CPUs, the EPYC Venice, and we use them to analyze what we can expect from the Ryzen "Olympic Ridge" lineup. AMD Ryzen "Olympic Ridge" Desktop CPUs Analyzed Using EPYC "Venice" Specifications, Zen 6 Brings The Next Oomph To AM5 Desktops It is surprising how AMD has evolved its strategy over the years. When the first Zen architecture launched, it was released for desktop PCs. The 1st Gen EPYC family, codenamed Napl…
San Francisco, USA. AMD presented in its 2026 Advance AI series EPYC 9006, its sixth generation of processors (CPU) for servers that marks a strategic change in business infrastructure. The company not only seeks to reaffirm the importance of x86 CPUs in the IA era, but also to consolidate its growing market share against competition. During the presentation of this new generation, Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, presumed that the EPYC line already has a s…
AMD EPYC 9006 Venice Unveils 256 Cores in Official Launch
AMD EPYC 9006 Venice processors feature up to 96 Zen 6 cores and up to 256 Zen 6c efficiency cores. If confirmed in real-world deployments, it represents a notable leap compared to AMD’s current EPYC line, and it will further boost its footing in dense server scenarios, virtualization, cloud workloads, and AI infrastructure, too. One […]
AMD Zen 6 server processors have me hopeful for some beefy desktop chips—it shouldn't be too long before Zen 7 and 8 drop either
We'd be fools to expect much talk of desktop chips at the 'Advancing AI' event, but we can always grab pinches of salt and attempt to infer what talk about server chips might mean for desktop. To that end, I'd say (tentatively) that what AMD has revealed about its upcoming Zen 6-based 'Venice' server processor platform is promising for the Zen 6-based desktop chips, which are expected to launch either late this year or early on in 2027, perhaps …
