AMD Powers Saudi Arabia's AI Infrastructure Leap
1 Sep
Summary
- AMD, Cisco, and HUMAIN launched a new AI platform in Saudi Arabia.
- Future plans include up to 250 MW of additional AI infrastructure by 2027.
- The partnership aims to meet growing demand for sovereign AI capabilities.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), in collaboration with Cisco Systems and HUMAIN, has launched a new artificial intelligence infrastructure platform in Saudi Arabia. The initial deployment features AMD's Instinct MI355X GPUs and EPYC CPUs, supported by Cisco's networking technology, enabling HUMAIN to offer GPU-as-a-service for various AI workloads.
Looking ahead, the partners intend to deploy up to 250 megawatts of additional AI infrastructure powered by AMD's Instinct MI400 Series GPUs and EPYC CPUs. This significant expansion is slated to begin in 2027, with capacity expected to come online in the second half of that year.
This initiative is driven by the increasing demand for sovereign, high-performance AI infrastructure. The collaborative platform emphasizes open models and software, providing customers with enhanced control over data, model customization, and deployment, as the region moves towards AI deployment from initial investment.
