Summary
AMD used its IFA keynote in Berlin to add a second Halo developer system, positioning the full-tower Threadripper Halo Station for local AI inference and model development rather than compact edge use.
The workstation pairs a 96-core Threadripper Pro 9995WX with 2 MI350P accelerators as standard, delivering 288GB of HBM3E GPU memory, with a stated path to 4 cards and 576GB.
Liquid cooling is central to the design: AMD showed closed-loop coolers on the CPU and MI350P cards, a notable shift because the 450W-plus accelerators were originally launched as air-cooled PCIe parts.
AMD said the system will support up to 2TB of DDR5 memory and appeared to use an ASUS WRX90 motherboard plus an SFP networking card, addressing bandwidth limits seen in the smaller Ryzen AI Halo box.
Pricing, availability and the software stack remain undisclosed, but the launch broadens AMD's push into desktop AI developer hardware and sets up a direct challenge to Nvidia's DGX Station segment.
