AMD EPYC “Venice” Gives Us a Preview of Zen 6-Based Ryzen “Olympic Ridge” CPUs: More Cores, More (3D V-)Cache, Clocks & Scalable Configs

AMD’s Zen 6 EPYC Venice launch offers an early preview of Ryzen Olympic Ridge desktop chips.

The next Ryzen generation is expected to use 12 cores per CCD, enabling up to 24 cores total and a larger L3 cache.

AMD may also push higher clocks and wider SKU options, with 3D V-Cache models likely to continue.

Ryzen Olympic Ridge is currently expected to arrive in early 2027 for AM5.
