Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD) is pressing deeper into the AI infrastructure race with an expanded collaboration with Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (NYSE: HPE) and a major capacity buildout from cloud partner Vultr in Ohio.
AMD said HPE will be among the first system providers to adopt its "Helios" rack-scale AI architecture, which combines AMD EPYC CPUs, AMD Instinct GPUs, Pensando networking, and the ROCm software stack to streamline deployment of large clusters.
AMD framed Helios as an open, rack-scale platform built to boost performance and efficiency while scaling across AI and high-performance computing workloads.

Vultr's Ohio Expansion
On the cloud side, Vultr said it will launch an AI supercluster powered by AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs at a new data center campus in Springfield, Ohio. The company announced plans to scale with the addition of 24,000 MI355X GPUs and described the site as its first cloud data center location in Ohio, positioning the region as a growing hub for digital infrastructure.
Price Action: AMD stock was down 0.70% at $218.22 at the time of publication on Tuesday, according to Benzinga Pro data. HPE was up 0.28%.
