Key Developments in AMD's AI Portfolio

At the event, AMD introduced the Helios rack-scale platform, which serves as a blueprint for yotta-scale AI infrastructure. This platform utilizes the advanced AMD Instinct MI455X GPUs and AMD EPYC “Venice” CPUs tailored for complex AI workloads. Key announcements included:

• Launch of the AMD Instinct MI440X GPU for enterprise AI deployments.
• Preview of the next-generation Instinct MI500 Series GPUs.
• Introduction of new AMD Ryzen AI platforms designed for AI PCs and embedded applications.
• A commitment of $150 million to expand AI education in classrooms and communities.

The Helios Rack-Scale Platform

The AMD Helios rack-scale platform is poised to transform compute capacity from today's 100 zettaflops to over 10 yottaflops within five years. This monumental leap requires not only raw performance but also an open, modular design capable of adapting across generations. Helios is engineered for high bandwidth and energy efficiency, supporting high-volume training with up to 3 AI exaflops performance per rack.

Expanding the AMD Instinct GPU Series

During CES, AMD unveiled the complete Instinct MI400 Series accelerator portfolio and showcased the incoming MI500 Series. The recently announced MI440X GPU is designed to manage scalable training and inference tasks in an eight-GPU configuration, seamlessly integrating into existing systems. Additionally, the previously launched MI430X GPUs are expected to empower global AI factory supercomputers, including prominent systems like Discovery at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Advancements in AI for Personal Computing

As AI becomes integral to the personal computing experience, AMD is enhancing its AI PC portfolio. The new AMD Ryzen AI 400 Series and Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series are set to deliver advanced processing power with up to 60 TOPS and optimized support for AMD ROCm. Key product highlights include:

• Ryzen AI Max+ 392 and Max+ 388 support models up to 128 billion parameters.
• The Ryzen AI Halo Developer Platform will launch in Q2 2026, aimed at developers creating AI applications.

Commitment to AI Education and Innovation

During the keynote, Dr. Su and Michael Kratsios, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, discussed AMD's role in the Genesis Mission, an initiative focused on securing U.S. leadership in AI technology. In support of education, AMD's pledge of $150 million aims to enhance AI learning opportunities for students. This statement of commitment echoes AMD’s long-term vision of fostering innovation and accessibility in the AI sector.
