AMD has been showing off a Threadripper Halo Station with 96 Zen 5 cores and up to 576GB of HBM3e GPU memory.
According to TweakTown, the monster is on course for 2027 and is a desk-side AI workstation that combines a Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX processor with AMD Instinct accelerators rather than the Radeon Pro hardware normally found in workstations.
The Threadripper Pro 9995WX provides 96 Zen 5 CPU cores, while system memory can stretch to 2TB of RDIMM DDR5.
AMD says the machine can support up to four Instinct MI350P accelerators. Each GPU provides 144GB of HBM3e, giving a fully loaded system 576GB of GPU memory.
The MI350P is a 600W accelerator based on AMD’s CDNA 4 architecture and is rated for 4.6 PFLOPs of AI compute. Combined with system RAM, AMD reckons the Halo Station can offer a whopping 2.6TB of total memory.
AMD claims that is 3.4 times the memory capacity of Nvidia’s DGX Station, which pairs a 72-core Arm-based Nvidia Grace processor with Blackwell Ultra GB300 hardware.
Total memory bandwidth can reach 16.4TB/s, according to AMD. Up to 16TB/s comes from the GPU side, with RDIMM DDR5 contributing up to 410GB/s.
AMD showed a prototype at IFA 2026 and described the machine as offering “datacenter-class AI compute in a single deskside workstation.”
The outfit reckons that combination of CPU horsepower, HBM3e capacity and memory bandwidth will let the Halo Station tackle trillion-parameter AI models locally.
The machine marks AMD’s first workstation-class system built around Instinct accelerators rather than Radeon Pro cards, bringing hardware normally associated with datacentres much closer to someone’s desk.
It will go directly after Nvidia’s recently announced DGX Station as both chipmakers try to persuade developers that their next enormous AI box belongs beside the office coffee machine.
