Earlier at IFA 2026, AMD unveiled the Halo Station workstation. The red chipmaker calls it “the most powerful workstation in the world”, and the hardware inside makes it seem so.
The Halo Station includes a Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX, which is a 96-core Zen 5 CPU, two liquid-cooled Instinct MI350P accelerators “with a path to four” 2TB of DDR5, plus 288GB of HBM3E memory that can be expanded to 576GB for a fully decked out system.
AMD says that the Halo workstation is so powerful, it is capable of holding a trillion-parametre model by itself. Oh, and each liquid-cooled Instinct MI350P accelerator pulls up to 600W of power, so just double that power draw with the dual accelerators.
As we mentioned, the Ryzen Threadripper 9995WX isn’t new or groundbreaking. To go through the specs of it, the HEDT processor is a 96-cores, 192-threads CPU based on AMD’s current Zen 5 architecture. It has a base and boost clock of 2.5GHz and 5.4GHz, respectively, and a massive 384MB L3 Cache, and A 350W TDP. The CPU uses the sTR5 socket and is compatible with WRX 90, TRX50, and Pro 695 motherboards.
Ultimately, the CPU isn’t aimed at gaming, but rather, more towards heavy duty workloads, such as professional visualisation and, in this case, workstation-based actions and workloads.
The same goes for the AMD Instinct lineup. These are server-grade GPU accelerators, based on the CDNA4 GPU architecture, and around the 3nm die lithography, courtesy of TSMC. In total, one card houses 8,192 Stream Processors, 512 Matrix Cores, 129 Compute Units, and has a peak engine clock of 2.2GHz.
There’s currently no price tag attached to the Halo Station but if one were to take the price of each of the components into consideration – they already exist on the current market – the starting price could start north of RM400,000. Note that we said starting price, and that if you were to go for AMD’s supposed top-tier specs, that price could spike up to RM600,000.
