Of course you do. That's AMD's massive, double-wide GPU-focused compute blueprint that has eighteen blades with four GPUs and one CPU each. It's an incredibly powerful system for training frontier AI models like those used for ChatGPT, but most customers aren't doing that. The hot new thing now is agentic AI, and AMD's new Helion platform is directly targeted at those workloads.
