What happened

After unveiling the EPYC 9006 (codenamed Venice) series in July and previewing a few impressive Zen 6 benchmarks , AMD has now released full pricing for its highly anticipated next-generation server chips. AMD has shared the full SKU list for its 6th Generation EPYC 9006 (codenamed Venice) series, with 1Ku pricing. AMD is an electrical and semiconductor company based in Sunnyvale.

The SP7 platform is the flagship offering, delivering maximum memory capacity and throughput (how much work a system gets through in a given time). It provides support for up to 16 memory channels, accommodating both RDIMMs and MDRDIMMs up to DDR5-12800.

The platform offers up to 96 PCIe 6.0 lanes and provides support for Venice chips with TDPs between 400W and 600W. The Venice parts designed for the SP7 socket offer scalable performance for enterprises.
