Introducing AMD Helion, Agentic AI Compute at Rack Scale October 12, 2026 9:00 am EDT Download as PDF News Highlights: AMD Helion lets customers tailor CPU (the general-purpose processor at the centre of a computer) core density, performance and power to agentic (AI that carries out multi-step tasks rather than answering one question) workloads, with CPU-only configurations for hyperscale deployments and integrated CPU/GPU (a chip built for many calculations at once, used for graphics and AI) configurations for enterprises. AMD Helion combines open hardware and software with an integrated token (the small pieces of text a model reads and writes) router that directs agents’ model calls across frontier and open-source models. AMD is an electrical and semiconductor company based in Sunnyvale, and its products and services include computer hardware and graphics processing units.

12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today introduced the AMD Helion agentic AI rack, an open blueprint for agentic AI infrastructure based on an Open Compute Project spec-design and powered by AMD compute. Building on the open-platform approach of the AMD Helios™ rackscale solution, AMD Helion is designed to provide partners and customers with the flexibility they need for agentic AI infrastructure. With AMD Helion, customers can match CPU performance, core density and power with GPU acceleration for the work their AI agents perform.
