ChipsThe story, in brief
Open co-design networking underpins AMD’s Helios strategy at scale
AMD just reframed data center AI infrastructure around open networking. Here's why that matters more than the next GPU.
The KeyNews take
Why it matters
AMD's Helios strategy signals a fundamental shift in AI infrastructure design—moving from server-centric to data-center-wide optimization through open co-design networking. This challenges NVIDIA's vertically integrated approach and could reshape capex decisions for hyperscalers building next-gen clusters.

Publisher excerpt: AI infrastructure is undergoing a fundamental shift as the unit of deployment moves from the server rack to the entire data center, making open co-design networking a first-class design priority rather than an afterthought. That reordering was on full display this week as Advanced Micro Devices…
