What the next generation of AMD and Intel processors will be based on is what the next generation of AMD and Intel processors will be based on. The latest manufacturers reveal the SP7 core for AMD Venice and the LGA 9324 for Intel Diamond Rapids. In addition, information on the TDP of the platforms is provided.
AMD Venice is based on SP7
SP7 follows the SP6 core, which is not so surprising. The successor to the current server processors, codenamed Turin, based on the Zen 5 architecture, is codenamed Venice and will use the SP7 core with Zen 6 cores. This is confirmed by manufacturers of server cooling solutions, as the resourceful X-User @9550PRO discovered. Dynatron, for example, offers the new SP7 Cooler J24, which is designed to handle up to 600 watts of heat waste.
Various coolers for AMD Socket SP7 (Venice)
A new, faster cooler for SP7 processors can be seen at Lori Cooling. These are designed for TDP classes from 260 to 450 watts. It has not yet been confirmed what TDP levels AMD will deliver in Venice. At least, radiator manufacturers apparently expect a maximum of 600 watts. Turin has officially started with up to 500 watts. Intel Diamond Rapids on a massive LGA 9324
Intel’s upcoming Diamond Rapids server processors will once again use the LGA 9324 as the base processor.
From 350 to 700 watts, the cooler range is significantly smaller for Intel LGA 9324 at Lori Cooling Ganges. At Dynatron, the C21 is available up to 660 watts. A higher maximum TDP rating than the 500 watts of its predecessors is also likely here.

AMD Venice Celebrates Its Header
About two weeks ago, AMD announced with TSMC that Venice had successfully manufactured its header in the new TSMC N2 manufacturing process with nanosheets.
The next generation of EPYCs is expected to hit the market next year. Venice, also known as EPYC 9006, is expected to once again offer a maximum of 8 chip slots with up to 32 Zen-6 cores, thus up to 256 cores from 2nm production.
Diamond Rapids with PCIe 6.0
Intel’s Diamond Rapids is expected to appear as part of the new Oak Stream platform at the latest next year and then compete with AMD Venice. There is no tangible information on the hardware yet, but the base size suggests more cores and a 16-channel storage interface. The use of PCIe 6.0 has long been discussed, but is also expected to be present in AMD Venice.
