AMD announces Zen 6 EPYC server processors and Nvidia showcases DLSS 5 AI rendering technology

AMD has officially announced its 6th generation EPYC server processors, codenamed "Venice," which are built on the new Zen 6 microarchitecture. The lineup includes four distinct product lines, with the flagship EPYC 9996 featuring 256 cores, 512 threads, and 1024MB of L3 cache. These processors are designed for high-performance computing and AI-focused data centers, with support for 16-channel DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen 6. Meanwhile, at SIGGRAPH 2026, Nvidia demonstrated its DLSS 5 technology, which utilizes neural rendering to improve lighting, materials, and shadows in real-time. Unlike previous iterations, DLSS 5 provides developers with granular control over structure and tone intensity, allowing for the application of AI enhancements to specific objects or background elements without altering character features. Additionally, Microsoft has intervened to force LG to remove an intrusive McAfee advertisement popup that was automatically installed on Windows 11 systems via the LG Monitor App Installer. This follows community backlash regarding the automatic installation of bloatware on user devices.

AMD's new Zen 6 EPYC processors include the 256-core EPYC 9996 flagship with 1024MB of L3 cache. The Zen 6 architecture supports 16-channel DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen 6 connectivity for enterprise workloads.

Nvidia's DLSS 5 technology enables neural rendering for photorealistic lighting and material improvements in games. DLSS 5 allows developers to apply AI enhancements to specific objects while preserving artistic elements like facial features.

Microsoft pressured LG to disable an automatic McAfee advertisement popup that appeared on Windows 11 systems. Two men were arrested in China for stealing 16 RAM modules from multiple esports hotels.
