AMD announced the Venice-X CPU at its Advancing AI event Thursday, featuring 1152 MB of 3D V-Cache and clock speeds up to 5.15 GHz. The processor launches in the second half of 2027.

The Venice-X matches the cache capacity and core count of AMD's existing Genoa-X processor but delivers significantly faster individual cores. The 96-core configuration and substantial V-Cache allocation position the chip for high-performance computing and data center workloads. Venice-X represents AMD's continued push in CPU performance as it competes for enterprise and AI infrastructure markets. The 5.15 GHz clock speed marks a notable increase in per-core performance relative to prior generations. The H2 2027 availability window gives customers an 18-month timeline to plan deployments. AMD has not disclosed additional specifications such as TDP, memory support, or pricing details. The Venice-X announcement aligns with AMD's broader strategy of expanding its processor portfolio across performance tiers and use cases.
