AMD Unveils New AI Chips for Data Centers at CES 2026
AMD has introduced new AI chips for enterprise use at CES 2026, including the Instinct MI440X GPU designed for on-premises installations in company data centers. This processor supports training, fine-tuning, and inference in a compact eight-GPU configuration compatible with existing infrastructure.
AMD also previewed its 'Helios' platform, a rack-scale AI system capable of delivering up to three exaflops, aimed at future trillion-parameter models. Helios is built on AMD's new MI455X accelerators, EPYC 'Venice' processors, and Pensando 'Vulcano' network cards, integrated through AMD's open ROCm ecosystem. Looking ahead, AMD plans to launch the MI500 series in 2027, promising up to 1,000 times higher AI performance than the MI300X, utilizing CDNA 6 architecture, a 2nm process, and HBM4E memory.
