ServeTheHome published on 10 November a first look at AMD’s EPYC 9006 processors, which it says use the Zen 6 architecture and carry the codename Venice. Its comparison table lists a maximum of 256 cores and 512 threads, up from 192 cores and 384 threads on the previous EPYC 9005 series. The same table lists PCI Express 6.0, a new socket it labels SP7, and support for 16 channels of DDR5 memory, against 12 channels on the prior generation. The site says core manufacturing is at 2 nanometres.
The figures are the review’s table of the parts it tested and described. AMD’s own product page is not quoted in this briefing. The review does not state a price, a cloud instance name, or a count of processors shipped.
