Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
AMD showcased its upcoming Venice server CPUs and MI400 datacenter accelerators at CES 2026, providing the first public look at the silicon for both product lines. The Venice series features a new packaging approach with direct copper-to-copper bonding between CCDs and IO dies, eliminating traditional organic substrate wiring. The MI400 accelerator series represents AMD's next-generation AI/ML hardware with significant architectural improvements over previous MI300 models. Both products demonstrate AMD's continued innovation in high-performance computing and AI acceleration for datacenter applications.
