The **AMD Venice processor** has officially entered its production ramp phase in Taiwan using TSMC’s 2nm process technology. This development marks a significant milestone in the collaboration between the two semiconductor companies. Consequently, the new chip represents the first high-performance computing product to utilize this advanced node.
As artificial intelligence workloads continue to expand, data centers require more efficient hardware. Specifically, the new 6th Gen EPYC CPU aims to address these growing demands. Meanwhile, the architecture helps coordinate data movement, networking, and storage across modern computers and server infrastructures.
Production Begins on TSMC 2nm Node
The transition to the 2nm node allows for increased transistor density and improved power efficiency. Notably, AMD plans to utilize this technology to support enterprise and cloud customers. Furthermore, the production ramp is currently concentrated in Taiwan to ensure initial yield stability.
“Ramping ‘Venice’ on TSMC 2nm process technology marks an important step forward in accelerating the next generation of AI infrastructure,” said Dr. Lisa Su, chair and CEO of AMD.
