Leak Suggests New SP7 Socket Connected to AMD 6th Gen EPYC “Venice” CPUs

YuuKi_AnS, a hardware leaker, has momentarily shifted their focus away from anything Team Blue; their most recent leak concerns forthcoming server-grade AMD chips. This information appears to have been acquired from a server manufacturer’s product roadmap and refers to a Zen 6 core-based 9006 EPYC CPU series with the codename “Venice,” which is anticipated to appear within two to three years coupled with a brand-new SP7 socket. A portion of the PowerPoint also shows upcoming hardware that uses the “Falcon Shore” and “Blackwell” GPU technology from Intel and NVIDIA.

According to earlier insider information, AMD is utilizing the internal name “Weisshorn” for the Zen 6 “Morpheus” architecture, which is intended for Venice CPUs and is said to be a component of the 2025–2026 EPYC range. These, according to YuuKi_AnS’s suggestion, will make use of 12- or 16-channel DDR5 memory configurations, offering ample of bandwidth for the hundreds of Zen cores. Overall very convenient for cloud, business, and HPC applications; according to industry analysts, single packages may support 384 core counts. Naturally, according to a Team Red timeline, Zen 5 “Nirvana” must be released before Zen 6 “Morpheus,” therefore the EPYC 9005 “Turin(-X)” and 8005 “Turin-Dense” lineups are (supposedly) up for a 2024–ish launch window on SP5 (LGA-6096) and SP6 (LGA 4094) socket types.
