  1. AMD Zen 6 EPYC Venice Deep Dive and Benchmarks

    Tom’s Hardware examined the Zen 6 architecture and tested AMD’s 256-core EPYC 9996 and 96-core EPYC 9686F on the SP7 platform. The report says Zen 6 introduces native FP16 instructions, while its two-IOD design gives SP7 access to 16 memory channels. In a two-socket configuration, the EPYC 9996 delivered 1,024 threads and scored 93% ahead of the 768-thread EPYC 9965 in the report’s SPEC CPU 2026 intrate throughput estimate. The frequency-optimized 9686F performed strongly in scientific-computing and HPC workloads. The SPEC results were not submitted to the SPEC committee and therefore remain estimates.

  2. AMD Posts Record Q3 on AI Data-Center Demand

    AMD reported third-quarter revenue of $13.4 billion, up 45% year over year, while data-center revenue rose 97% to $8.55 billion and represented 64% of total sales. The company forecast about $17 billion in fourth-quarter revenue, which would exceed Intel’s $15 billion to $16 billion outlook if achieved, and said EPYC Venice processors had begun generating revenue shipments. Gaming revenue fell 40% to $773 million, while AMD’s larger growth and PC-market forecasts remain management projections.

  3. AMD unveils Helion agentic AI rack blueprint with up to 32,768 Zen 6 CPU cores

    AMD announced Helion at the OCP summit, a rack-scale reference design built on the Open Compute Project's ORv4 spec and the open-platform approach of its Helios rack, pitched as an open blueprint for agentic AI rather than a system it will sell itself. A CPU-only configuration can hold up to 128 of AMD's 256-core sixth-generation EPYC "Venice" (Zen 6) processors, reaching 32,768 cores for hyperscalers, while a mixed configuration supports up to 16 Instinct MI350P GPUs and 102 Tbps of networking for enterprise deployments. AMD says it will contribute the specification to OCP, with Dell, HPE, Lenovo, Supermicro and Foxconn among partners developing systems planned for November 2026, though one report points to first-half 2027 availability and no pricing was disclosed.
