AMD posts full EPYC 9006 Venice server CPU lineup, from an 8-core $700 chip to a 256-core $14,904 flagship

AMD has published the full EPYC 9006 “Venice” product lineup, confirming specifications and 1,000-unit pricing for 31 Zen 6 server processors, as first detailed by VideoCardz.

The newly listed stack runs from the EPYC 9016, an 8-core chip priced at $700, up to the EPYC 9996, a 256-core model priced at $14,904. That gives AMD a published Venice range that spans low-core-count entry parts through ultra-high-core-count flagship server silicon.

Two platform tiers

AMD’s published materials split the family between SP7 and SP8. VideoCardz reported that the breakdown is nine SP7 processors and 22 SP8 models.

SP7 is described as AMD’s larger 16-channel DDR5 platform, while SP8 uses eight DDR5 memory channels. In practice, that means Venice is being positioned across two different classes of server deployment, with SP7 aimed at the bigger end of the platform stack and SP8 covering a broader spread of lower-core-count and midrange options.

The top end of Venice

At the top of the published table is the EPYC 9996, listed at 256 cores and $14,904. VideoCardz also reported that this flagship carries 512 threads, a 2.55 GHz base clock, boost up to 4.1 GHz, 1GB of L3 cache and a 600W default power rating.

That top-end SKU sits above several other high-priced SP7 parts, including the 192-core EPYC 9966 at $14,079, the 168-core EPYC 9846 at $13,114, and the 128-core EPYC 9756 at $12,498, per the same published list highlighted by VideoCardz.
