AMD's Halo Station Touts 2.6TB Memory, Tripling NVIDIA's 748GB DGX Station, Shipping 2027

- AMD unveiled the Threadripper Halo Station, a desk-sized AI workstation pitched as a way for companies to train and run large models on-premises instead of renting cloud compute.
- Key specs: a combined memory ceiling of 2.6TB — more than 3x NVIDIA's already-shipping DGX Station GB300 (748GB coherent memory); named-parts power draw of 1550W; planned availability in 2027.
- The business case: one-time purchase beats hourly cloud rental for constant workloads, and keeping healthcare/financial/government data on controlled hardware eases compliance. NVIDIA's system differentiates on a coherent memory architecture at a lower total figure.
