AMD CEO Lisa Su announced that AMD’s 6th Gen Epyc CPU, code-named Venice, is the best server CPU in the world.

Venice is also not just one chip. The biggest chip has 256 cores. One is a GPU server host node, Verano, with LPDDR memory. It has variants that include Venice 128 core in a lower cost design.
“For us, one architecture spans dozens of different chips,” Su said. Venice is in full production and will roll out in Q4, Su said. She said that AMD’s Venice CPUs can outperform Nvidia’s Vera CPU by 20% on a per core basis, and overall throughput is 2.2 times better..
