Oracle and AMD Partner to Boost AI Performance with New GPU Supercomputer
Oracle will deploy AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs in its cloud infrastructure, offering zettascale AI clusters for large-scale AI training and inference workloads.
Austin, Texas and Santa Clara, Calif.—Jun 12, 2025 — Oracle and AMD announced a collaboration to integrate AMD Instinct™ MI355X GPUs into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). This partnership aims to deliver breakthrough performance for large-scale AI and agentic workloads, with Oracle becoming one of the first hyperscalers to offer an AI supercomputer powered by these GPUs.
Key Highlights
- Zettascale AI Clusters: OCI will deploy clusters with up to 131,072 MI355X GPUs, enabling customers to build, train, and run AI models at unprecedented scale.
- Performance Gains: The MI355X GPUs offer 2.8X higher throughput and 50% more high-bandwidth memory than the previous generation, along with support for 4-bit floating point compute (FP4) for efficient inference.
- Liquid-Cooled Design: The dense, liquid-cooled racks maximize performance at 125 kilowatts per rack, with 64 GPUs per rack.
- Open-Source Compatibility: AMD ROCm software stack ensures flexibility and avoids vendor lock-in.
- Network Innovation: Oracle will be the first to deploy AMD Pollara™ AI NICs for advanced RoCE functionality and low-latency networking.
