AMD EPYC Venice boasts 256 cores – next-gen server CPUs arrive in 2026 (tomshardware.com)

I believe they can also do Dual Socket, which means in a single server unit, We could have

2 x 256 = 512 CPU Core, or 1024 vCPU in cloud computing terms.

16 Memory Channel. 1.6TB/s memory bandwidth.

200GB/s SSD RAID System.

That is more computing power in a single 2U server than a whole rack of servers in 2010. I am only hoping Zen 6 will actually improve IPC, performance / watt compared to ARM counterpart is still so far off.

We will soon find out if anyone is using bytes to store CPU numbers. Also, it would be insecure to virtualize hardware threads separately.
