AMD says Venice-X will bring big cache back without the clock-speed trade-off

The Register reports that AMD’s Venice-X will offer up to 96 cores, 1,152 MB of L3 cache and clocks reaching 5.3 GHz. The core count and cache capacity match Genoa-X; the clock-speed ceiling gets a lift from 3.7 GHz. Big cache, less compromise. The chips target scientific computing and chip-design workloads, with AMD expecting initial shipments in the second half of 2027.
