Oracle announced the expansion of its partnership with AMD at its annual AI World conference, revealing that it will become the first hyperscaler to offer a publicly available supercluster powered by 50,000 AMD Instinct MI450 Series GPUs.
The two companies already have a long-standing partnership and this news builds on previous deployments using AMD’s MI300X and MI355X GPUs.
The supercluster will feature a full suite of AMD components on its Helios rack architecture, including MI450 GPUs, next-generation AMD EPYC “Venice” processors, and Pensando “Vulcano” networking.
Oracle may be working closely with Nvidia, but there’s still room for AMD in its strategy
The message from AI World 2025 was clear: the company’s commitment is to bring AI to you and your data, not the other way around. This gave the company a comprehensive opportunity to open up to third parties, partner with competing hyperscalers for cloud hosting, and maintain multiple chip vendor options, all designed to give the customer choice.
The latest Helios racks offer a dense, liquid-cooled design to support up to 72 GPUs per rack – the usual promises of low latency are also made. Oracle will also provide up to three 800 Gbps “Vulcano” AI-NIC cards per GPU, and these GPUs will provide up to 432 GB of HBM4 and 20 TB/s of memory bandwidth.
Oracle boasted that the latest configuration will allow customers to train and infer models 50% larger than previous generations.
At the same time, OCI also announced the general availability of OCI Compute with AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs, with up to 131,072 of them available in the zettascale Supercluster.
Mahesh Thiagarajan, executive vice president of OCI, said the continued partnership with AMD addresses customer demands for “robust, scalable, high-performance infrastructure” with “best value, open, secure and scalable cloud foundation.”
AMD shares rose about 8.7% in the day following the announcement.
