- AMD MI400 GPU is expected to offer 432GB HBM4 in 12 memory batteries
- CPU EPYC Venice of 256 cores will debut with PCIE GEN6 and the 2NM process
- Helios Rack of AMD aims at 10x yield with double width AI architecture
AMD recently revealed its GPU Instinct Mi350 series, but the biggest news is what the chips giant has planned for 2026.
The company is preparing a next -generation AI platform that includes the INSTINCT MI400 GPU, the CPU “Venice” of EPYC and an important change in the bastor design with its Helios infrastructure, an expansive double width configuration aimed at climbing the performance and bandwidth.
The MI400 GPU is expected to be sent up to 432 GB of HBM4 memory, built using 12 36 GB HBM4 batteries, according to the numbers shared by micron estimates and memory per GPU from the AMD frame’s capacity.
A direct answer to Nvidia
This would be a considerable leap from the current 8 -batter configuration of the MI350, which puts it on the way to rival the next Vera Rubin platform in Nvidia.
Together with the MI400, AMD plans to debut its EPYC “Venice” server CPU of 256 nuclei, based on a 2 Nm process with PCIE GEN6 and up to 1.6TB/s Memory bandwidth.
The platform will also feature the 800g Nic vulcan and admit open standards such as Uualink and Ultra Ethernet to improve scale connectivity.
AMD says that the Helios Rack and Mi450 GPU will offer up to 10x the performance of the MI355X, positioning it as a direct response to the Nvidia accelerated roadmap.
Sam Altman appeared on stage at the recent AI event of the company along with the CEO of AMD, Lisa Su, to emphasize Openai’s early interest in the new platform, saying: “I think it will be something incredible.”
Although the hardware will not reach until 2026, AMD’s preview establishes the tone of what could be a fierce race with Nvidia.
It is possible that the Helios Rack does not have an official name yet, but it is clear that AMD is thinking bigger, and broader! – As you advance towards the next -generation AI infrastructure.
