#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.

NextGen #MI450 #AI Lineup, #AMD Says There Will Be ‘No Excuses, No Hesitation’ in Choosing Team Red Over NVIDIA In AI Workloads
In terms of what to expect with #MI400 lineup, you are looking at integration of #HBM4, up to 432 GB, this will bring massive bandwidth improvements. AMD plans to aggressively expand #rackscale options with MI400 series as well, introducing highly anticipated #Helios rack as well, which is claimed to rival Vera Rubin's top configuration on-paper.

even with constraints amd will have steppings and respins of the silicon plus driver improvements - memory speeds should continue to go up, zen6 will probably jump to ddr6 and pci-e v6 to continue to boost i/o and make compute faster - the real gains are for enterprise data chips where inference is going to go through the roof #mi300 #mi350 #mi400
