AMD Unveils 2nm EPYC Venice Chips, Launch Expected by Year-End
AMD has officially confirmed its plans to launch sixth-generation EPYC processors, codenamed Venice, built on the upcoming Zen 6 architecture and manufactured using TSMC’s cutting-edge 2nm process. These chips are set to become the world’s first commercially available processors made using the N2 node with advanced NanoSheet transistors. Mass production is expected to kick off in 2025.
The chips are being developed in collaboration with Taiwan's semiconductor giant TSMC. At the same time, AMD is actively expanding its manufacturing presence in the U.S. The company has already tested its first 5nm EPYC Gen 5 chips produced at TSMC’s new Fab 21 plant in Arizona — marking AMD’s first experience with domestic production of key processors. Until now, all manufacturing had been based in Asia.
During a recent visit to Taiwan, AMD CEO Lisa Su showcased a silicon wafer featuring 2nm prototypes, signaling the company’s readiness for the next big leap in chipmaking. With this, AMD is not only embracing the most advanced manufacturing technology, but also reshaping its production strategy to better align with evolving geopolitical and economic realities — strengthening its position both globally and at home.
