AMD Threadripper Halo Station is probably the world's most expensive desktop PC thanks to its 2.7TB memory and four AI GPUs — a GB300 rival likely to cost $150,000 with just 1 CPU
AMD’s Threadripper Halo Station combines massive memory, four AI accelerators and 96 CPU cores for demanding local AI workloads.
AMD has unveiled a desktop workstation capable of handling demanding artificial intelligence workloads, dubbed the Halo Station. This system combines 96 CPU cores, four AI accelerators, and up to 2.6TB of memory, making it a powerful AI powerhouse. The device, built around AMD's Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX processor, offers up to 576GB of HBM3e memory for the accelerators and up to 16.4TB/s of combined memory bandwidth.
AMD emphasizes the system's focus on memory capacity over mere core count, enabling it to handle large AI models locally. With the potential to support frontier-class models and hundreds of AI agents in a single environment, the Halo Station is designed for researchers, model developers, engineers, and organizations requiring intense local AI processing.
While estimates place the cost at around $150,000 upon release in 2027, AMD has not confirmed an official retail price.
