Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD) announced it has started production ramp of its 6th generation AMD EPYC processors, codenamed "Venice," using Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.'s 2-nanometer process technology. The company stated this marks the first high-performance computing product in the industry to enter production on TSMC's 2nm process.

Production is currently ramping in Taiwan, with plans to expand manufacturing to TSMC's Arizona fabrication facility. The processors are designed for cloud, enterprise and AI infrastructure applications.

"Ramping 'Venice' on TSMC 2nm process technology marks an important step forward in accelerating the next generation of AI infrastructure," said Dr. Lisa Su, chair and CEO of AMD. "As AI and agentic workloads scale rapidly, customers need platforms that can move from innovation to production faster."

AMD also announced plans for "Verano," another 6th generation EPYC processor that will use TSMC's 2nm technology. The Verano chip is designed to include LPDDR memory integration and is optimized for performance-per-dollar-per-watt applications in cloud and AI computing workloads.

Dr. C.C. Wei, Chairman and CEO of TSMC, stated the companies' collaboration reflects the importance of combining process technology with design innovation for high-performance and AI computing applications.

The partnership between AMD and TSMC extends beyond 2nm processors to include advanced packaging technologies such as TSMC's SoIC-X and CoWoS-L, which are used across AMD's AI and data center product portfolio.
