Dynatron has listed three new coolers on its website: C21, J24, and J25. The latter two are specified to support CPUs based on AMD’s SP7 socket, likely referring to Venice. Following AMD’s typical two-year cadence between CPU generations, and as Turin ‘EPYC 9005’ launched in the latter half of 2024, we are still at least one year away from seeing Venice in action.
Designed for air-cooled setups, the J24 (3U) and J25 (4U) are listed to handle up to 600W of power. Based on the provided cooler drawings, we can infer the approximate size of Venice’s IHS at 72.5mm x 60mm. Remember, this is just a guess, not a definitive specification or confirmation from AMD. The 9-heatpipe equipped C21 is rated to dissipate up to 660W of power, listed to support Intel’s Diamond Rapids-AP processors, based on the LGA 9324 socket.
Intel segments its server offerings into SP (Scalable Performance) for systems scaling up to 8 sockets, and AP (Advanced Platform), designed for single or dual-socket servers prioritizing higher core counts per socket, using a larger platform. Consequently, we might also see a Diamond Rapids-SP variant utilizing a smaller socket, and a Diamond Rapids-D derivative as an SoC (System on Chip).
Current speculation purports that Diamond-Rapids will use Intel’s Panther Cove-X architecture, which is suggested to be an analogue of Coyote Cove, which is rumored to be employed by Nova Lake. Panther Cove is suggested to feature “large” IPC improvements, along with support for APX instructions. The significance of the ‘X’ in Panther Cove-X is unknown, though it might indicate server-specific optimizations.
