AMD (NASDAQ: AMD), Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) and HUMAIN, a PIF company delivering full-stack AI solutions, today announced that AMD Instinct MI355X GPU-based AI infrastructure built on Cisco Silicon One-based AI networking is now live in Saudi Arabia and serving HUMAIN customers in the Kingdom and beyond.
The production deployment, powered by AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs, AMD EPYC CPUs and Cisco’s critical networking infrastructure, marks an important milestone in AMD, Cisco and HUMAIN’s work to build an open, large-scale, AI platform in Saudi Arabia. Built on Cisco Silicon One and Cisco 800G optics, the Cisco N9000 Series platform interconnects the MI355X GPUs in an AI-optimized fabric designed for scale, low latency and operational resilience, enabling HUMAIN to offer GPU-as-a-service across a wide range of use cases, from model training to inferencing.
Expanding on this foundation, AMD, Cisco and HUMAIN plan to deploy up to 250 MW of AI infrastructure powered by AMD Instinct MI400 Series GPUs, AMD EPYC CPUs and AMD ROCm™ open software, together with Cisco networking and critical infrastructure, through the companies’ previously announced joint venture. Deployment is planned to begin in 2027, with capacity expected to start coming online in the second half of the year.
This next phase of the companies’ previously announced joint venture will significantly expand Saudi Arabia’s AI capacity. Driven by strong customer demand, the joint venture remains on track to deploy up to 1 GW of AI infrastructure by 2030.
