   AMD shows EPYC Verano: first EPYC with LPDDR memory, due 2027

   AMD publicly showed its next-generation EPYC Verano data-center CPU for the first time at the OCP Global Summit that opened October 12, 2026, with CEO Lisa Su calling it "the next step in AMD's CPU roadmap for the AI era"; the company plans to make it available in 2027. Verano is built on Zen 6 and is the first EPYC product with an LPDDR memory interface, which reports describe as LPDDR5X paired with replaceable SOCAMM2 modules to improve AI data-center power efficiency and rack space usage. AMD positions it as a host-node CPU for AI accelerators intended to pair with future Instinct GPUs, and reports cite up to 112 Gbps xGMI connectivity for linking Instinct MI500. The core count remains disputed: Wccftech and cnBeta, citing ComputerBase, report a configuration of up to 192 cores, while IT之家 notes AMD has not confirmed that figure and Tom's Hardware previously reported up to 72 cores; AMD has not disclosed final core counts, memory specs, power, pricing or benchmarks. Su also said AMD expects the server CPU market to exceed $200 billion by 2030.

   AMD EPYC Verano AI host CPU to use new SB1 socket, 24-channel LPDDR5X

   A Dynatron server-cooler listing indicates AMD's AI-server-focused EPYC 9006-series 'Verano' chips will use an all-new SB1 socket and need different cooling than other Zen 6 EPYC parts. The report says Verano offers up to 72 Zen 6 cores at up to 5 GHz with a 24-channel LPDDR5X memory subsystem using replaceable SOCAMM2 modules, and AMD plans to launch it in the second half of 2027.
