AMD plans to launch Venice-X server processors in the second half of 2027, combining stacked cache with boost speeds of up to 5.3 GHz for high-performance computing workloads, Tom's Hardware reported. The chips will have 96 cores and 1,152 MB of L3 cache, matching Genoa-X on those measures.

The platform adds 96 PCIe 6.0 lanes and 16 memory channels supporting quoted bandwidth of 1.6 TB/s per socket. AMD says combining high frequency and stacked cache could let it consolidate the different processors it uses for chip-design workloads. AMD has not shared Venice-X benchmarks, base frequencies or power specifications.
