Overview
- At IFA 2026, AMD showed the Threadripper Halo Station prototype built around a 96‑core Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX paired with up to four Instinct MI350P accelerators for as much as 576 GB of HBM3e GPU memory.
- AMD demonstrated a two‑card build (288 GB HBM3e) and says a four‑card configuration would hold trillion‑parameter models locally and support up to 2 TB of RDIMM system memory for a 2.6 TB total memory footprint.
- Each MI350P card is independently liquid‑cooled and can draw about 600 watts of board power, so the system requires substantial cooling and electrical capacity for sustained AI workloads.
- AMD packaged the hardware with software and partner moves — including Microsoft Project Zenith support and a SUSE collaboration plus Ryzen AI MAX/OEM device showcases — to ease local developer workflows.
- AMD positioned the Halo Station against NVIDIA’s DGX Station, but key commercial details such as price, complete specs, storage and distribution plans were not announced and AMD targets a 2027 launch window.
