AMD unveiled its Threadripper Halo Station at the IFA 2026 keynote, a liquid-cooled workstation geared towards running AI models with over one trillion parameters locally. The specifics of the system's availability, pricing and full specifications have not been disclosed. The workstation features the 96-core Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX processor paired with up to four Instinct MI350P accelerators.
At the IFA event, AMD showcased a two-card configuration, which offered 576 GB of HBM3E memory, enough to host a trillion-parameter model on the machine. Each Instinct MI350P card comes with 144 GB of HBM3E memory and provides 4 TB/s of memory bandwidth, 14 times higher than any LPDDR5X variant. The system's substantial power and cooling requirements are also noteworthy, as each MI350P accelerator draws up to 600 watts of board power and includes its own liquid cooling system.
The Threadripper PRO 9995WX, code-named Shimada Peak, is based on AMD's Zen 5 architecture, boasting 96 cores, 192 threads, and a boost clock of up to 5.4 GHz. It supports up to 2 TB of DDR5 system memory. AMD's senior vice president and general manager of Computing and Graphics, Jack Huynh, described the Halo Station as a new workstation category designed to deliver supercomputer-class compute power to individual users and developers.
