AMD EPYC 9006 “Venice” CPUs & Zen 6 Architecture Launch

[Brent_Justice]

Introduction AMD has not yet announced its next-generation (Zen 6-based) DIY Desktop CPUs; however, AMD has just launched its next-generation server AMD EPYC 9006 6th-generation “Venice” CPUs, which are based on the Zen 6 architecture! In this way, we can get an early preview of what the architecture looks like in the upcoming Zen 6 […]

While this is cool for specific tasks. I wouldn't build a server right now with core densities that high. The licensing cost is just stupid. Cloud hosts and Ai data centers are where this is at.

And I dont see this coming down to the pc market in a non SOC design until 2028 at the soonest... sadly.

My main interest was the Zen 6 architecture, in regards to desktop CPUs that are coming.

I would love to see dual I/O chips one per CCD with an ultra fast interconnect allowing 48 or more PCIE lanes.. heck a doubling for PCIE Gen five would suite me just fine. The ability to go quad channel ram would be cool but ram prices are so high I would rather not.

Probably not until Zen 7 with PCIe 6.0, assuming they keep the number of lanes the same. And if they decide to save on cost, it could be Zen 8 in 2030 before we see that happening.

Would need a new socket, but wouldn't mind an actual HEDT platform that isn't TR-level overkill lol
