AMD announced the general availability of its 6th Gen AMD EPYC server SP7 processors on 10 November 2026. The processors are based on the Zen 6 architecture, and systems powered by them are shipping from leading server vendors. Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure will make cloud instances generally available soon, and AMD says the EPYC 9996 CPU delivers up to 3.7x the performance of an Nvidia Vera CPU-based system.

Why it matters

Data centre operators and cloud customers gain a new 6th Gen EPYC option for running AI agents, with cloud instances from Azure and OCI to follow.
