AMD's 256-core EPYC "Venice" is the first HPC chip to ramp on TSMC 2nm
Read this because Everyone watches the GPU. But AI clusters still need a host CPU to feed them, and AMD just put a 256-core server part on the most advanced node before anyone else. The lever here is efficiency at the power wall — and a quiet Arizona on-shoring story riding alongside it.
AMD is ramping EPYC "Venice" on TSMC 2nm (May 21) — a 256-core/512-thread part, the industry's first HPC product on the node, 70%+ uplift over Turin.
