AMD has released full pricing for its EPYC 9006 (Venice) server processor lineup, spanning 8 to 256 cores and ranging from $700 to $14,904. The SP7 platform tops the range with the 256-core EPYC 9996 at $14,904, while the 64-core EPYC 9556 starts the lineup at $8,008, according to a list obtained by StorageReview.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The per-core cost drops sharply at the high end—about $58 per core on the flagship versus $125 per core on the entry model—which could make top-tier chips more appealing to cloud providers and large data centers seeking density and efficiency. The pricing also lands close to the prior-generation flagship EPYC 9965, suggesting AMD is holding steady on price while pushing core counts higher for competitive positioning against Intel.
- AMD's EPYC 9006 Venice lineup spans 8 to 256 cores, priced from $700 to $14,904
- The 256-core EPYC 9996 costs about $58 per core, far cheaper per-core than lower-tier chips
- Flagship pricing is roughly in line with the previous-generation EPYC 9965
