- AMD shows its first Venice Troquel of 2 Nm built with TSMC node node
- Venice, based on Zen 6, is aimed at high performance computer workloads
- AMD and TSMC hope to deepen their collaboration for future innovations
AMD has announced that the first 2 NM class silicon has produced successfully for its next -generation EPYC processor, the “Venice” code name that is expected to be launched in 2026 as part of the EPYC alignment of Sixth Gene Generation of AMD.
The Core Complex Die (CCD) is the first high performance computer product that has been recorded and mentioned using the Advanced TSMC N2 technology.
The Venice CPU, based on Zen 6 architecture, brings AMD a step closer to delivering its data center map and will go to HPC workloads when it is launched. With the 2 NM node movement, AMD hopes to offer better energy efficiency, performance and silicon yields.
Promoting a significant technology escalation
“TSMC has been a key partner for many years and our deep collaboration with its R&D and manufacturing equipment has allowed AMD to constantly offer leadership products that drive the limits of high performance computing,” said the president of AMD, Dr. Lisa Su.
“Being a main HPC client for the N2 process of TSMC and for TSMC Arizona Fab 21 are excellent examples of how we are working closely together to boost innovation and deliver advanced technologies that will feed the future of computer science,” added Dr. su.
The CEO of TSMC, Dr. CC Wei, who posed together with Dr. his with the CCD for the photo above, echoed the feeling, saying: “We are proud that AMD is a main client of HPC for our advanced process technology of 2nm (N2) and TSMC Arizona Fab. When working together, we are promoting a significant scaling of technology, which results in a better performance, which results in a better performance. High performance high performance efficiency.
In separate news, AMD also announced that it has validated the silicon for its fifth generation CPU EPYC at the FAB 21 TSMC site in Arizona.
This will allow AMD to manufacture some of its current generation processors in the US., Marking a step forward for the company’s national production capabilities, something that is being defended by President Donald Trump.
