#AMD Says “#Helios” Racks And #MI400 Series #GPU On Track For 2H 2026
AMD has been working on the Open Rack Wide v3 specification, a double-wide rack that AMD calls “Helios” and that is the platform for delivering #rackscale compute based on the “Altair” MI400 series GPU accelerators. This series includes the #MI450, #MI430X, and the #MI455X for the Helios rackscale systems, which will have 64, 72, or 128 GPUs per system, and possibly MI440X for eight-way system nodes.

#AMD touts Instinct #MI430X, #MI440X, and #MI455X #AI accelerators and #Helios #rackscale AI architecture at CES — full MI400-series family fulfills a broad range of infrastructure and customer requirements
The newly disclosed MI440X and MI455X are set to be optimized for low-precision workloads, such as FP4, FP8, & BF16. The previously disclosed MI430X targets both sovereign AI and #HPC thus fully supports FP32 and FP64 technical computing and traditional #supercomputing

#Eviden set to build #France's first #exascale #supercomputer with #AMD at the wheel
The #EuroHPC Joint Undertaking is funding the €544 million ($630 million) project to expand #Europe's research capabilities in simulations, data analysis, and AI for societal, scientific, and industrial challenges. Named after French computer scientist #AliceRecoque, the modular system will launch with AMD's upcoming "Venice" Epyc CPUs and Instinct #MI430X GPUs.

#HPE Reveals Compute And Networking for #GX5000 #Supercomputers
#Nvidia-based #GX440n Accelerated Blade, which will feature 4 Vera CPUs and 8 Rubin GPUs for "mixed-precision computing,"
#GX350a Blade is similarly aimed at mixed-precision computing, with one Venice CPU and 4 of #AMD's Instinct #MI430X series GPUs
Want a CPU-only cluster? #GX250 Compute Blade fits eight Venice chips, and up to 40 of those blades will fit in each rack, enabling up to 81,920 CPU cores.
