AMD EPYC 'Venice' benchmarks claim big lead over Nvidia Vera
AMD's first official EPYC Venice benchmarks position the 256-core chip as more than twice as fast as Nvidia's Vera.
AMD has published its first official benchmarks for the EPYC 'Venice' server CPUs, and the results are aimed squarely at Nvidia. According to Tom's Hardware, AMD claims the 256-core Venice chip is more than twice as fast as Nvidia's Vera processor, while the 96-core Venice model delivers roughly 20% higher per-core performance.
These figures are notable because Nvidia is pushing into data-center CPUs with Vera, and AMD is using these official benchmarks to frame Venice as a direct competitor. As with any vendor-provided benchmark, however, the numbers are AMD's claims and should be treated as such until independent testing confirms them.
If the performance holds up, Venice could give AMD a strong talking point across both highly threaded and per-core-sensitive server workloads. More clarity will come once final silicon reaches reviewers and customers.
