AMD unveils Zen 6 with EPYC Venice processors for AI data centers
AMD introduced Zen 6, its new architecture, alongside the EPYC Venice processors (EPYC 9006 family) for data centers. The most powerful models reach 256 cores and 512 threads, and the highest-frequency ones reach 5 GHz; they are manufactured on TSMC's 2-nanometer process. The company reports a 27% increase in IPC over the previous generation. Each socket adds 16 DDR5 memory channels, MRDIMM modules of up to 12,800 MT/s and PCIe 6.0. AMD argues that AI agents shift more workload to the CPU.
