Introducing AMD Helion, Agentic AI Compute at Rack Scale

Dan McNamara, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Compute and Enterprise AI, AMD

“Agentic AI is not a single workload. It spans personal agents, enterprise applications, code execution and complex workflows, each with different compute requirements.”

Dan McNamara, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Compute and Enterprise AI, AMD

“To do that takes optimized compute and infrastructure that can adapt to different workloads. With AMD Helion, we are bringing AMD EPYC™ performance, open software and flexible rack designs together so our partners can build systems around customer needs and make efficient use of available power.”

Jeremy Foster, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Cisco Compute

“Agentic AI is changing what customers need from their infrastructure. It's not just about compute performance, but how the entire system is connected, managed and secured. Architectures like AMD Helion, combined with Cisco's full-stack infrastructure capabilities, can give customers greater flexibility to deploy, operate and scale agentic workloads into their environments as their needs evolve.”

Arun Narayanan, Senior Vice President, Compute and Networking, Dell Technologies

“Dell PowerRack gives customers choice without compromise, and our support for AMD Helion Agentic Rack Reference Design extends that promise to the next generation of agentic AI. By combining AMD's rack-scale architecture with Dell's proven engineering expertise, along with the flexibility to extend deployments with Dell PowerRack for Networking and Storage, we're giving customers a complete, validated path to deploy agentic compute at scale with the manageability and reliability they expect from Dell.”

Hon Hai Technology Group, Company

“Hon Hai Technology Group continues to deepen its collaboration with AMD on AI infrastructure, supporting the new AMD Helion Agentic AI Rack reference design. Built on an open architecture, the platform combines 6th Gen AMD EPYC processors with flexible CPU and GPU configurations to address hyperscale data center and enterprise Agentic AI workloads. The Group will continue to leverage its strengths in rack-level system integration and global manufacturing, working with ecosystem partners to advance rack-scale Agentic AI solutions and accelerate next-generation AI infrastructure deployment.”

Trish Damkroger, Senior Vice President and General Manager, HPC & AI Infrastructure Solutions, HPE

“Next-generation AI workloads require scale, efficiency, and flexibility that open, rack-scale architectures deliver, as demonstrated by our recent customer agreement to deploy AMD Helios. For decades, HPE and AMD have jointly championed open standards, and we are continuing to advance those efforts with AMD Helion. Together, we are ushering in the next era of AI with open large-scale systems, enhanced with air-cooled and direct liquid-cooled networking, supported by decades of HPE expertise and innovation.”

Scott Patti, VP, Infrastructure Solutions Group, Lenovo

“As agentic AI moves into production, customers need flexibility in how and where they deploy it. That's at the core of the Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage, and AMD Helion will give added versatility to meet customers where they are and support the workloads they want to run.”

Mike Yang, President, QCT

“Agentic AI will require a range of system designs to serve different customer needs. AMD Helion provides an open blueprint that gives QCT the flexibility to tailor compute configurations and bring system design and customization expertise to those requirements.”

Vik Malyala, Chief Business Officer, Supermicro

“Supermicro is accelerating the deployment of next-generation agentic AI infrastructure by bringing AMD’s Helion - the open, ORv3 compliant rack-scale architecture to market through our Data Center Building Block Solutions® (DCBBS). With our proven expertise in OCP accepted™ rack-scale design, integration, liquid cooling, software, and deployment services, we transform advanced Agentic AI architectures into production-ready solutions. Together with AMD, we enable customers to deploy faster, scale efficiently, and accelerate time to online for agentic AI.”

William Lin, President and CEO, Wiwynn

“AMD Helion provides an open, flexible foundation for agentic AI infrastructure. Wiwynn is excited to collaborate with AMD, bringing our expertise in rack-level integration and advanced cooling to help hyperscaler customers tailor systems that meet the demanding workloads, power requirements, and data center environments of the agentic AI era.”
