$MU $SKHY $DRAM Holy Shit
$AMD's Lisa Su just spent two full minutes at the 2026 AI keynote raving about HBM4 capacity as the thing that separates Helios from the competition. Not compute. Memory.
"When you compare Helios to the competition, we're delivering 15% more compute, 50% more HBM4 memory capacity and memory bandwidth, and 50% more scale-out bandwidth."
Notice which number is bigger.
"What that means is that every Helios can deliver more performance for the largest models, more capacity for longer context, and the bandwidth to scale across thousands of racks.... More than 18,000 CDNA five GPU compute units, over 4,600 Zen 6 CPU cores, and 31 terabytes of HBM4 memory, all in a single rack."
"That's what it takes to run agentic AI at scale. Today, I'm excited to announce that Helios is in full production. We have shipments on track to start at the end of the third quarter and ramping into the fourth quarter in the second half of the year. I can tell you, customer demand for Helios is extremely strong, we're extremely proud of the work that we have done across the leading AI labs to adopt Helios."
