AMD announced the Threadripper Halo Station at IFA 2026, a liquid-cooled workstation combining a 96-core Threadripper Pro 9995WX CPU with dual (expandable to four) Instinct MI350P accelerators built to run AI models with more than a trillion parameters locally. Pricing and a release date have not been announced.
AMD used its IFA 2026 keynote to introduce the Threadripper Halo Station, which the company describes as the most powerful workstation in the world. At its core is a 96-core, 192-thread Threadripper Pro 9995WX (codenamed "Shimada Peak") boosting up to 5.4 GHz, paired with dual liquid-cooled Instinct MI350P accelerators. AMD's Jack Huynh, SVP and GM of Computing and Graphics, called it a new class of workstation bringing supercomputer-class compute to individual users and developers.
The configuration shown at IFA pairs two MI350P cards, each with 144GB of HBM3E memory, for a combined 288GB of accelerator memory. AMD says the system has a path to four accelerators, which would push total HBM3E capacity to 576GB — enough, according to AMD, to hold a trillion-parameter AI model entirely on-device without a cloud connection. The system also supports up to 2TB of DDR5 across the Threadripper Pro's eight memory channels.
According to Tom's Hardware, the machine is essentially a server tray reconfigured into a tower form factor, and it appears AMD's OEM partners will ultimately build and ship it, though none have been announced yet. The core components alone — CPU, 2TB of memory, and dual MI350P accelerators — could reportedly push street pricing past $100,000, with a fully configured system potentially exceeding $150,000 once storage, power, and cooling are factored in. AMD has not disclosed official pricing or a release date.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the AMD Threadripper Halo Station?
It's a liquid-cooled workstation AMD unveiled at IFA 2026, built around a 96-core Threadripper Pro 9995WX CPU and up to four Instinct MI350P accelerators, designed to run AI models with more than a trillion parameters locally.
How much memory does the Threadripper Halo Station support?
It supports up to 2TB of DDR5 system memory and up to 576GB of HBM3E accelerator memory in a four-card configuration; the version shown at IFA used two MI350P cards for 288GB of HBM3E.
How much does the Threadripper Halo Station cost?
AMD has not announced official pricing, but Tom's Hardware estimates the core components alone (CPU, 2TB of DDR5, and dual MI350P GPUs) could exceed $100,000, with a fully configured system potentially climbing past $150,000.
When will the Threadripper Halo Station be available?
AMD has not set a release date or announced OEM partners to build and ship the system; complete specifications and availability are still pending.
