AMD at its 2025 Advancing AI event name-dropped its two next generations of EPYC server processors to succeed the current EPYC "Turin" powered by Zen 5 microarchitecture. 2026 will see AMD debut the Zen 6 microarchitecture, and its main workhorse for the server segment will be EPYC "Venice." This processor will likely see a generational increase in CPU core counts, increased IPC from the full-sized Zen 6 cores, support for newer ISA, and an updated I/O package. AMD is looking to pack "Venice" with up to 256 CPU cores per package.

AMD is looking to increase the CPU core count per CCD (CPU complex die) with "Zen 6." The company plans to build these CCDs on the 2 nm TSMC N2 process node. The sIOD (server I/O die) of "Venice" implements PCI-Express Gen 6 for a generational doubling in bandwidth to GPUs, SSDs, and NICs. AMD is also claiming memory bandwidth as high as 1.6 TB/s. There are a couple of ways they can go about achieving this, either by increasing the memory clock speeds, or giving the processor a 16-channel DDR5 memory interface, up from the current 12-channel DDR5. The company could also add support for multichannel DIMM standards, such as MR-DIMM and MCR-DIMMs. All said and done, AMD is claiming a 70% increase in multithreaded performance over the current EPYC "Turin," which we assume is comparing the highest performing part to its next-gen successor.

TrendForce's latest investigations find that DDR4 contract prices for servers and PCs are expected to rise more sharply in the second quarter of 2025 due to two key factors: major DRAM suppliers scaling back DDR4 production and buyers accelerating procurement ahead of U.S. tariff changes. As a result, server DDR4 contract prices are forecast to rise by 18-23% QoQ, while PC DDR4 prices are projected to increase by 13-18%—both surpassing earlier estimates.

TrendForce notes that DDR4 has been in the market for over a decade, and demand is increasingly shifting toward DDR5. Given the significantly higher profit margins for HBM, DDR5, and LPDDR5(X), suppliers have laid out EOL plans for DDR4, with final shipments expected by early 2026. Current EOL notifications largely target server and PC clients, while consumer DRAM (mainly DDR4) remains in production due to continued mainstream demand.

Greetings soon-to-be-awakened, today, just about 72 hours before the floodgates open, we can finally share with you that rentable private servers will be available from head start launch on June 5th! We've previously communicated that private servers are for post-launch, but we're happy to share that progress has been faster than expected. We do, however, want to manage expectations about how private servers work in Dune: Awakening. As you know, this is not your typical survival game.

Why private servers work differently in Dune: Awakening
Dune: Awakening is powered by a unique server and world structure, something we went in-depth on in a recent blog post. In short: each server belongs to a World consisting of several other servers, and each of those share the same social hubs and Deep Desert. This allows us to retain a neighborhood-like feel to the Hagga Basin and provide persistent, freeform building, and other server-demanding mechanics you typically see in survival games. We combine this with the large-scale multiplayer mechanics you would expect to find in MMOs where hundreds of players meet each other in social hubs and the Deep Desert to engage in social activities, trade, conflict, and more.

Infineon Technologies AG is revolutionizing the power delivery architecture required for future AI data centers. In collaboration with NVIDIA, Infineon is developing the next generation of power systems based on a new architecture with central power generation of 800 V high-voltage direct current (HVDC). The new system architecture significantly increases energy-efficient power distribution across the data center and allows power conversion directly at the AI chip (Graphic Processing Unit, GPU) within the server board. Infineon's expertise in power conversion solutions from grid to core based on all relevant semiconductor materials silicon (Si), silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) is accelerating the roadmap to a full scale HVDC architecture.

This revolutionary step paves the way for the implementation of advanced power delivery architectures in accelerated computing data centers and will further enhance reliability and efficiency. As AI data centers already are going beyond 100,000 individual GPUs, the need for more efficient power delivery is becoming increasingly important. AI data centers will require power outputs of one megawatt (MW) and more per IT rack before the end of the decade. Therefore, the HVDC architecture coupled with high-density multiphase solutions will set a new standard for the industry, driving the development of high-quality components and power distribution systems.

Today, we are looking at the latest benchmark results for NVIDIA's upcoming RTX PRO 6000 "Blackwell" workstation-class GPU. Based on the new GB202 GPU, this professional visualization card features an impressive 24,064 CUDA cores distributed across 188 streaming multiprocessors, with boost clocks up to 2,617 MHz. It also introduces 96 GB of GDDR7 memory with full error‑correcting code, a capacity made possible by dual‑sided 3 GB modules. In Geekbench 6.4.0 OpenCL trials, the PRO 6000 Blackwell registered a total score of 368,219. That result trails the gaming‑oriented GeForce RTX 5090, which posted 376,858 points despite having fewer cores (21,760 vs. 24,064 of RTX PRO) and a lower peak clock of 2,410 MHz versus the 2617 MHz of RTX PRO.

A breakdown of subtests reveals that the workstation card falls behind in background blur (263.9 versus 310.7 images per second) and face detection (196.7 versus 241.5 images per second), yet it leads modestly in horizon detection and Gaussian blur. These mixed outcomes are attributed to pre‑release drivers, a temporary cap on visible memory (currently limited to 23.8 GB), and power‑limit settings. If the card ran on release drivers, software (especially OpenCL) could greatly benefit from more cores and higher max frequency. One significant distinction within the RTX PRO 6000 family concerns power consumption. The Max‑Q Workstation Edition is engineered for a 300 W thermal design point, making it suitable for compact chassis and environments where quiet operation is essential. It retains all 24,064 cores and the full 96 GB of memory, but clocks and voltages are adjusted to fit the 300 W budget. By contrast, the standard Workstation and Server models allow a thermal budget of up to 600 W, enabling higher sustained frequencies and heavier compute workloads in full‑size desktop towers and rack‑mounted systems.
