AMD unveils Threadripper Halo Station, an AI workstation packing 96 cores and dual liquid-cooled MI350P accelerators — 'the most powerful workstation in the world' can run trillion-parameter models, says AMD

AMD showcased what it calls the most powerful workstation in the world, the Threadripper Halo Station, at the IFA 2026 event. This workstation is equipped with a Threadripper Pro 9995WX featuring 96 Zen 5 cores, dual liquid-cooled Instinct MI350P accelerators, 2TB of DDR5 memory, and 288GB of HBM3E. AMD asserts that the workstation can run trillion-parameter models.

The total cost of the workstation, based on core components, is projected to exceed $100,000, and could potentially reach $150,000 with additional features. While AMD has not disclosed any partners for the machine, it appears that OEM partners will be responsible for building and shipping the workstation. The Threadripper Pro 9995WX, the heart of the workstation, is a 96-core, 192-thread Zen 5 chip with a boost clock of 5.4 GHz and a TDP of 350W.

The dual Instinct MI350P accelerators offer 128 compute units each on TSMC N3, with 144GB of HBM3E memory per accelerator, totaling 288GB of HBM3E. The workstation's cost per accelerator is estimated at around $20,000. AMD has not set a price or release date for the Threadripper Halo Station, but more details are expected from AMD's partners in the near future.
