AMD Confirms ACE With 7th Gen EPYC "Florence" While 8th Gen EPYC Is "Ravenna"

During the AMD briefings for 6th Gen EPYC SP7 availability, they did already tease next-gen EPYC processors. As expected, AMD confirmed that 7th Gen EPYC "Florence" processors on Zen 7 cores will feature AI Compute Extensions (ACE) as the collaboration between AMD and Intel under the x86 Ecosystem Advisory Group. AMD EPYC Florence will also feature next-gen MRDIMM and LPDDR memory... Not surprising either and pretty much expected. Likewise, a next-gen process node for EPYC Florence in 2028. So no big reveals today but just reiterating that next-gen EPYC is well underway. 8th Gen EPYC under the codename "Ravenna" on Zen 8 is in development already with an expected debut in 2030. One bit from the slide is that only "Zen 8" is mentioned and not any "Zen 8C" as with prior Zen 5/6/7 generations... We'll see if that ultimately means no Zen 8C or just a styling anomaly in the press material.
