Description:
AMD unveils its next-gen Zen 6 EPYC Venice CPU die, the first HPC chip built 
on TSMCs 2nm process node.

FULL STORY
======================================================================AMD 
shows off its first 2nm-class Venice CPU die built using TSMC's N2 node 
Venice, built on Zen 6, targets high-performance computing workloads AMD and 
TSMC hope to deepen their collaboration for future innovations 

AMD has announced it has successfully produced the first 2nm-class silicon 
for its next-generation EPYC processor, codenamed "Venice" which is expected 
to launch in 2026 as part of AMDs 6th Generation EPYC lineup. 

The core complex die (CCD) is the first high-performance computing product to 
be taped out and brought up using TSMCs advanced N2 process technology. 

The Venice CPU, built on the Zen 6 architecture, brings AMD one step closer 
to delivering on its data center roadmap and will target HPC workloads when 
it launches. With the move to the 2nm node, AMD expects to offer better power 
efficiency, performance, and silicon yields. Driving significant technology 
scaling 

TSMC has been a key partner for many years and our deep collaboration with 
their R&D and manufacturing teams has enabled AMD to consistently deliver 
leadership products that push the limits of high-performance computing, said 
AMD Chair and CEO Dr. Lisa Su. 

Being a lead HPC customer for TSMCs N2 process and for TSMC Arizona Fab 21 
are great examples of how we are working closely together to drive innovation 
and deliver the advanced technologies that will power the future of 
computing, Dr. Su added. 

TSMC CEO Dr. C.C. Wei, who posed alongside Dr. Su with the CCD for the photo 
above, echoed the sentiment, saying, We are proud to have AMD be a lead HPC 
customer for our advanced 2nm (N2) process technology and TSMC Arizona fab. 
By working together, we are driving significant technology scaling resulting 
in better performance, power efficiency and yields for high-performance 
silicon. We look forward to continuing to work closely with AMD to enable the 
next era of computing. 

In separate news, AMD also announced that has validated the silicon for its 
5th Gen EPYC CPUs at TSMCs Fab 21 site in Arizona. 

This will allow AMD to manufacture some of its current-generation processors 
in the US, marking a step forward for the companys domestic production 
capabilities, something that is being championed by President Donald Trump.
