Threadripper Halo pairs a 96 core AMD CPU with 576GB of HBM3e, the high bandwidth GPU memory that lets trillion parameter AI models run on a desktop, but pricing and a ship date are unannounced.
AMD unveiled the Threadripper Halo Station at IFA 2026 in Berlin on Sept. 4, pitching it as a liquid-cooled desktop workstation that can run AI models with more than a trillion parameters in GPU memory at 4-bit precision (PCMag).
AMD pairs its 96-core Threadripper PRO 9995WX (Zen 5, codenamed Shimada Peak) with two liquid-cooled Instinct MI350P accelerators in the base config, for 288GB of HBM3E. Four MI350Ps bring the system to 576GB of HBM3E and 16 TB/s of aggregate memory bandwidth, enough to keep a compressed trillion-parameter model resident (StorageReview).
The Halo Station sits in the same tier as Nvidia's GB300 DGX Station, a desktop-class AI box PCMag pegs at $100,000-plus. AMD SVP Jack Huynh called it "the most powerful workstation in the world" and "as close as you can get to a personal supercomputer" (Tom's Hardware).
Pricing and a ship date were not announced. One outlet floated a $7,999 / Sept. 18 figure, but StorageReview, PCMag, Tom's Hardware, and The Register all reported the details as unconfirmed.
