So AI is for everyone, but what AMD chair and CEO Lisa Su also noted is that we don’t have nearly enough compute for everything that we can possibly do.
So what’s next? AMD is in the business of building compute and Su’s keynote promises to reveal lots of new products, high-profile execs, and a bit of education. Case in point, Su noted that bringing AI infrastructure to scale requires more than just raw performance. And her answer was compute CPUs, GPUs, networking, coming together. And of course an open modular rack design like Helios, which was revealed in 2025 and shown onstage Monday at CES.
“Helios is a monster of a rack,” Su said. “This is no regular rack, okay. This is a double-wide design based on the OCP open rack wide standard developed in collaboration with Meta, and it weighs nearly 7,000 pounds.” She then added, “We wanted to show you what is really power in all this AI; it is actually more than two compact cars.”
