- AMD (AMD, Financial) and HUMAIN announce a $10 billion collaboration to develop advanced AI infrastructure.
- The partnership will deploy 500 megawatts of AI compute capacity over the next five years.
- Multi-exaflop capacity is expected to be reached by early 2026, enhancing AMD's position in the AI market.
In a landmark move, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) has entered into a strategic partnership with HUMAIN, Saudi Arabia's burgeoning AI enterprise, in a collaboration valued at $10 billion. The ambitious project aims to establish the world's most open and scalable AI infrastructure, leveraging AMD's comprehensive AI compute portfolio.
The initiative will create a robust network of AMD-based AI computing centers, spanning from Saudi Arabia to the United States. This network will deploy 500 megawatts of AI compute capacity within the next five years, a development set to rival the largest AI deployments worldwide.
AMD will supply their full range of AI products, including AMD Instinct GPUs, EPYC CPUs, Pensando DPUs, Ryzen AI, and the ROCm open software ecosystem. HUMAIN will oversee the infrastructure's deployment, managing hyperscale data centers, sustainable power systems, and global fiber interconnects.
This collaborative effort is not just about building infrastructure but aims to democratize AI access globally. By the early months of 2026, the project is expected to activate a multi-exaflop capacity, providing unprecedented levels of performance and accessibility in the enterprise, startup, and sovereign markets.
As AMD and HUMAIN progress with initial deployments, this partnership marks a significant milestone in advancing global AI infrastructure, aligning with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 economic diversification plan.
