AMD says CPU-only racks can be configured with up to 32,768 cores using 6th-generation EPYC processors; the combined option uses EPYC and Instinct MI350P GPU nodes.

AMD plans to submit the specification to OCP. Configurations are under development with partners, with availability planned for November 2026.
