AMD has released benchmark results for its upcoming Zen 6 'Venice' CPUs, claiming a significant performance advantage over NVIDIA's Vera processor. An AMD executive expressed satisfaction with NVIDIA's decision to publish Vera's SPEC CPU 2026 benchmarks, which AMD then used as a basis for their own 'estimated' comparisons. While AMD's Venice CPUs reportedly show a 20% advantage in per-core performance and a 2.2x higher throughput, the comparison involves different core counts and TDPs, with AMD acknowledging that their tuning is not yet complete.
