AMD Unveils EPYC Venice: Zen 6 on 2nm with up to 256 Cores and 5GHz+

AMD has launched the EPYC Venice family, a Zen 6-based HPC CPU lineup built on TSMC’s 2nm process, offering up to 256 cores, 203 billion transistors and up to 5 GHz clocks. AMD claims Venice delivers major performance and efficiency gains over prior generations and NVIDIA’s Vera, including up to 2.8x agents-per-watt in agent-sandbox workloads and up to 3.3x per-watt in general-purpose servers, across SP7 and SP8 variants designed for AI-host and HPC deployments.

AMD Unveils Zen 6 Venice EPYC: 256‑Core HPC Power on 2nm

AMD teased its 6th‑gen EPYC Venice CPUs based on Zen 6, led by a 256‑core flagship built for HPC and AI workloads. The chip combines eight CCDs with two large IO dies, and uses TSMC’s 2nm process to enable PCIe 6.0, UCIe, and DDR5 support, delivering AMD’s claimed ~70% gains in performance and efficiency and a 30%+ increase in thread density. Positioned for Helios AI racks to handle agentic AI workloads, Venice faces competition from Nvidia’s Vera systems as CPUs become more central to data‑center AI workflows.

AI demand fuels TSMC to another quarterly profit high

TSMC posted a 35% year‑over‑year rise in Q4 profit to NT$505.74 billion on revenue of NT$1.046 trillion ($33.7B), beating estimates as AI‑server chip demand remains strong. Chips 7nm or smaller made up 77% of wafer revenue, with a ramp to 2nm on the way. For 2026, capex is guided to $52–$56 billion (vs. $40.9B in 2025) as AI demand and advanced process technology drive growth.

"2025 Production Target Set for Next-Gen Apple Chip Technology"

Next-generation 2nm chip technology for future Apple devices is set to begin production in 2025, with TSMC installing equipment for 2nm chip production as early as April. Apple is expected to utilize these chips soon after their production begins, following their use of TSMC's initial 3nm technology in the iPhone 15 Pro and ‌iPhone 15 Pro‌ Max. TSMC is also evaluating the production of even more advanced 1.4nm chips in 2027, while mass production of enhanced ‌3nm‌ nodes is set to appear in Apple devices later this year.
