Oracle to Launch AI Supercluster with 50,000 AMD GPUs in 2026

Oracle Corporation and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) announced an expansion of their collaboration to deliver large-scale AI infrastructure, according to a press release. Starting in the third quarter of 2026, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) will deploy 50,000 AMD Instinct MI450 GPUs, forming what it says will be the first publicly available AI supercluster powered by AMD’s latest hardware.

The deployment will use AMD’s “Helios” rack design, combining the Instinct MI450 GPUs with next-generation EPYC CPUs codenamed “Venice” and Pensando networking technology known as “Vulcano.” The architecture is designed to support large-scale AI training and inference tasks with improved performance and energy efficiency.

Each MI450 GPU offers up to 432 GB of HBM4 memory and 20 TB/s of bandwidth, enabling larger in-memory AI models compared to prior generations. The system also includes DPU-accelerated networking and support for the open-source ROCm software stack, which provides compatibility with widely used AI frameworks.

The companies plan to expand the cluster further in 2027 and beyond, adding to Oracle’s existing AMD-based infrastructure, including previously deployed MI300X and MI355X GPU clusters. The new system will be part of OCI’s zettascale supercluster lineup, aimed at meeting growing demand for high-capacity AI computing.
