HPE and AMD bring Helios to commercial AI systems

• HPE will ship 72-GPU racks with next-generation AMD Instinct accelerators globally
• Venice CPUs paired with GPUs target exascale-level AI performance per rack
• Helios relies on liquid cooling and double-wide chassis for thermal management

HPE has announced plans to integrate AMD’s Helios rack-scale AI architecture into its product lineup starting in 2026.

The collaboration gives Helios its first major OEM partner and positions HPE to ship full 72-GPU AI racks built around AMD’s next-generation Instinct MI455X accelerators.

These racks will pair with EPYC Venice CPUs and use an Ethernet-based scale-up fabric developed with Broadcom.
