AMD's Epyc X-chips are back after a three-year hiatus

AMD is bringing back its cache-packed Epyc X chips with the upcoming HPC-optimized Venice-X processors, expected to begin shipping in the second half of 2027. Aimed at latency-sensitive workloads like electronic design automation, the processors combine up to 96 cores with 3D V-Cache technology. Unlike previous generations that required a trade-off between large cache and high clock speeds, the new chips place the SRAM tile at the bottom to achieve higher boost clocks of up to 5.3 GHz.
