#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.

#Oracle Cloud will deploy 50,000 #AMD Instinct #MI450 #AIchips starting in 2026, signalling increased #competition for #Nvidia’s market-leading #GPUs. This move follows #OpenAI’s recent deals with both AMD and Oracle, highlighting the growing demand for diverse AI chip suppliers. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/14/oracle-cloud-to-deploy-50000-amd-ai-chips-as-alternative-to-nvidia.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

#Intel Announces "#CrescentIsland" #Inference-Optimized #Xe3P #GPU With 160GB vRAM, but it's not shipping until at least H2'2026
Given the timing this will be going up against the AMD Instinct #MI450 series and NVIDIA #VeraRubin.
This new graphics card is built on next-gen Xe3P Celestial micro-architecture. Xe3P will be optimized around performance-per-Watt and Crescent Island will feature 160GB of LPDDR5x memory to allow plenty of space for #largelanguagemodels (#LLM).
