Helios will go head-to-head with Nvidia’s own NVL systems, matching its latest NVL72’s 72 Rubin GPUs with 72 of AMD’s MI455X chips. It’s another sign that AMD is working to move further in on Nvidia’s turf in the AI data center market.

Jan 5 (Reuters) - Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.O) CEO Lisa Su showed off a number of the company's AI chips on Monday at the CES trade show in Las Vegas, including its advanced MI455 AI processors, which are components in the data center server racks that the company is selling to firms like ChatGPT maker OpenAI.

CES 2026 was AMD's moment to shine in the light of the ongoing AI boom, offering more chips to drive AI compute and bringing industry luminaries on stage to talk about the future.

AMD CEO Lisa Su delivered a CES keynote that highlighted cost benefits, memory improvements, a shift toward real-world AI — and an insatiable demand for compute power.

“The reason we introduced the 392 and 388 chips is because those are the right products for gamers we’re bringing in,” AMD client chip boss Rahul Tikoo tells us in a press briefing. “Those two products were brought in because we had specific customer requests around gaming SKUs that we wanted to bring to market.”
