AMD Achieves First TSMC N2 Product Silicon Milestone

— Next-gene­ra­ti­on AMD EPYC CPU, code­na­med “Venice,” is the first HPC pro­duct to be brought up on TSMC’s next-gene­ra­ti­on N2 node —

SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announ­ced its next-gene­ra­ti­on AMD EPYC™ pro­ces­sor, code­na­med “Venice,” is the first HPC pro­duct in the indus­try to be taped out and brought up on the TSMC advan­ced 2nm (N2) pro­cess tech­no­lo­gy. This high­lights the strength of AMD and TSMC semi­con­duc­tor manu­fac­tu­ring part­ner­ship to co-opti­mi­ze new design archi­tec­tures with lea­ding-edge pro­cess tech­no­lo­gy. It also marks a major step for­ward in the exe­cu­ti­on of the AMD data cen­ter CPU road­map, with “Venice” on track to launch next year. AMD also announ­ced the suc­cessful bring up and vali­da­ti­on of its 5th Gen AMD EPYCCPU pro­ducts at TSMC’s new fabri­ca­ti­on faci­li­ty in Ari­zo­na, unders­coring its com­mit­ment to U.S. manufacturing.

TSMC has been a key part­ner for many years and our deep col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with their R&D and manu­fac­tu­ring teams has enab­led AMD to con­sis­t­ent­ly deli­ver lea­der­ship pro­ducts that push the limits of high-per­for­mance com­pu­ting,” said Dr. Lisa Su, chair and CEO, AMD. “Being a lead HPC cus­to­mer for TSMC’s N2 pro­cess and for TSMC Ari­zo­na Fab 21 are gre­at examp­les of how we are working clo­se­ly tog­e­ther to dri­ve inno­va­ti­on and deli­ver the advan­ced tech­no­lo­gies that will power the future of computing.”

We are proud to have AMD be a lead HPC cus­to­mer for our advan­ced 2nm (N2) pro­cess tech­no­lo­gy and TSMC Ari­zo­na fab,” said TSMC Chair­man and CEO Dr. C.C. Wei. “By working tog­e­ther, we are dri­ving signi­fi­cant tech­no­lo­gy sca­ling resul­ting in bet­ter per­for­mance, power effi­ci­en­cy and yields for high-per­for­mance sili­con. We look for­ward to con­ti­nuing to work clo­se­ly with AMD to enable the next era of computing.”
