Summary

  • IFA 2026 saw AMD debut the liquid-cooled Threadripper Halo Station, a workstation built around the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX and positioned as its top-end desktop AI system.
  • The system uses a 96-core, 192-thread Zen 5 CPU with 2TB of DDR5 memory, plus 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes to feed high-bandwidth accelerator workloads.
  • Two Instinct MI350P cards are installed in the show unit, delivering 288GB of HBM3E memory; each CDNA 4 GPU carries 144GB and up to 4 TB/s of bandwidth.
  • AMD said the platform is designed to scale to four MI350P accelerators, which would lift total accelerator memory to 576GB but sharply raise cooling and power demands.
  • With each MI350P rated at up to 600W, the Halo Station targets the ultra-premium workstation tier where systems competing with Nvidia's GB300-class machines can exceed $100,000.
