$AMD, CISCO & HUMAIN LAUNCH LIVE AI INFRASTRUCTURE IN SAUDI ARABIA, TARGET 1 GW BY 2030
AMD, Cisco and PIF-owned HUMAIN have brought their first production AI infrastructure online in Saudi Arabia, while laying out a much larger expansion:
• Current deployment uses AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs, EPYC CPUs and Cisco Silicon One networking, with HUMAIN already offering the capacity to customers as GPU-as-a-service.
• The next phase will deploy up to 250 MW of AI infrastructure using AMD’s next-gen MI400 Series GPUs, EPYC CPUs and ROCm, alongside Cisco networking.
• Deployment of that 250 MW phase is expected to begin in 2027, with capacity starting to come online in the second half of the year.
• The AMD-Cisco-HUMAIN JV says it remains on track to scale to as much as 1 GW of AI infrastructure by 2030, citing strong customer demand.
• Cisco is supplying its N9000 platform, Silicon One networking and 800G optics to connect the GPU clusters.
