Summary
Zen 7 will debut in 2028 in 7th-generation EPYC Florence chips, giving AMD’s server roadmap its first confirmed post-Zen 6 architecture and a clear follow-on to current AI-focused launches.
AMD said Florence will use a next-generation process node, add MRDIMM and LPDDR support likely tied to DDR6, and become the first EPYC family with ACE AI Compute Extensions.
Florence chips will stay on SP7 and SP8 platforms and serve as host CPUs for AMD’s Ferrara AI rack, while an updated Helios 500 system is slated for 2027 with EPYC Verano and Instinct MI500.
Zen 8 will power 8th-generation EPYC Ravenna in 2030, and AMD said the architecture and first chips are already in development as it stretches its roadmap to meet rising AI demand.
