AMD puts 32,768 CPU cores in a rack built for AI agents
AMD has published Helion, an open rack blueprint for running AI agents rather than training models, with a CPU-only version holding up to 32,768 cores. Partner systems are due in November, and the pitch is how many agents fit in each watt.
AMD has published a rack blueprint for running AI agents rather than training models. It is called Helion, and partner systems are due in November.
The design appeared at the Open Compute Project summit in San Jose, The Register reported. It comes in a CPU-only version for hyperscale operators and a mixed CPU and GPU version for enterprises.
The CPU-only rack tops out at 32,768 cores. That is 128 sockets of AMD’s 256-core Venice chip on Zen 6, in 400W dense or 600W balanced blades.
The mixed rack is thinner on graphics than it sounds. It holds at most 16 Instinct MI350P accelerators, in two eight-GPU servers...
