AMD has unveiled its new Epyc Venice server processors, with pricing ranging from $700 to $14,904. The lineup encompasses systems from single-socket to dual-socket configurations, boasting up to 512 Zen 6 CPU cores. The portfolio is divided into two platforms: SP7, prioritizing memory bandwidth and capacity, and SP8, focusing on PCIe connectivity.
The SP7 platform supports 16 memory channels, DDR5 RDIMMs or MRDIMMs at DDR5-12800 speeds, and up to 96 PCIe 6.0 lanes. It caters to workloads requiring ample memory and high memory throughput, like virtualization, databases, and analytics. Meanwhile, the SP8 platform offers 8 memory channels, 128 PCIe 6.0 lanes, and supports up to 400W power consumption.
The Epyc 9996, the top-of-the-line model, features 256 cores and a list price of $14,904, translating to a cost of $58.21 per core. The 64-core Epyc 9556, priced at $8,008, offers a more affordable option at $125.12 per core. AMD anticipates SP7 Venice systems to launch in Q4 2023, while SP8 systems will be available in the first half of 2027.
A Venice-X family utilizing AMD's 3D V-Cache technology is projected to arrive later in 2027, featuring up to 96 cores and 1,152MB of cache.
