AMD has disclosed that its upcoming Venice-X EPYC server processors will offer a 5.3 GHz boost clock, matching the top speed across the entire Venice lineup, while retaining the 96 cores and 1,152 MB of 3D V-Cache seen in the prior Genoa-X chips. The part is expected in the second half of next year and marks the return of AMD's stacked-cache technology to data center CPUs after Turin skipped an X-series variant, following Milan-X in 2022 and Genoa-X in 2023.

Tom's Hardware tested Nvidia's new Vera data center CPU in standalone form against AMD's EPYC Turin and Intel's Granite Rapids-AP chips. Vera posted leading results in Python performance and memory bandwidth, and also held its own in general-purpose server workloads, though x86 rivals retained an edge in core-density-driven frontend tasks.

OpenAI is deploying its new Jalapeño AI chip in racks alongside AMD's EPYC Turin CPUs, each configured with 1.5TB of memory, rather than Nvidia's newer Vera processor. Richard Ho, OpenAI's VP and Head of Hardware, told Tom's Hardware that Turin was chosen for pragmatic reasons, calling Vera 'a little bit behind' in maturity and noting partners already had experience with AMD's chip.

Researchers Evan Hoffman and Tae Kim probed Meta's Muse AI agent and got it to reveal its infrastructure: each user sandbox runs on AMD EPYC 9D25 Turin CPUs with two dedicated cores and 8GB of memory, using Ubuntu 24.04. Muse's sandboxes have no GPUs, since Meta reportedly routes inference through separate GPU servers, and Hoffman says the agent could be prompted to attempt risky actions like setting up SSH access to its own VM.
