Veyron V2, the most powerful CPU in the world ever designed is RISC-V, has 192 Cores at 3.6 GHz and is manufactured by TSMC at 4 nm
When we talk about PC processors, the vast majority of them are x86, thus offering great performance but losing energy efficiency. The thing is, we have a great example of Arm-based processors, like those from Apple, which manage to perform very well with low consumption. Beyond these two, there are also those with RISC-V architecture, with the Veyron V2 being the fastest in the world in this category.
When we look for a processor for our PC, we have to settle for what Intel and AMD offer us. In servers and data centers the situation is a little different, since we are not limited to using high-performance x86 processors. It is true that AMD has been releasing very powerful Threadripper and EPYC processors, surpassing Intel in all aspects, but these CPUs are not suitable for all customers. There are those who prioritize lower power consumption and prefer something more efficient, choosing to use Arm CPUs and even RISC-V.
Veyron V2 processor achieves 40% more performance than Veyron V1
Ventana Micro Systems may not be familiar to you, but at the end of last year it released its first RISC-V server processor, debuting as one of the best options. This was the Veyron V1, a processor that could be configured with up to 192 RISC-V cores, divided into 12 clusters of 16 cores and running at a frequency of 3.6 GHz. Although its performance in benchmarks was not detailed, they showed that with 200W TDP was faster than a 280W AMD EPYC 7763.
Almost a year has passed and Ventana Micro Systems has done it again, as it has now presented Veyron V2, the RISC-V processor with the highest performance today. Its CEO, Balaji Baktha, ensures that it has the best performance per watt and dollar, being perfect for customers in data centers, AI or the automotive industry. The Veyron V2 achieves up to 40% more performance compared to the previous generation
