# AMD EPYC Venice review finds up to 93% gain over dual Zen 5 processors

A dual AMD EPYC Venice 9996 configuration is up to 93% faster than a dual Zen 5 9965 configuration, Tom's Hardware reports in its first look at Zen 6 processors.

Venice uses TSMC's N2P manufacturing process. The review also finds that the 9686F often beats Nvidia's Vera; it does not describe that advantage as universal.
