As part of our product lifecycle management, the AMD MI350X GPU-based offerings are being transitioned out of the portfolio. Customers evaluating or planning deployments with this platform are encouraged to migrate to Cisco's latest accelerated computing solution, delivering enhanced AI performance, scalability, and operational efficiency. Customers considering AMD MI350X-based deployments should evaluate transitioning into the Cisco UCS C845A to benefit from next-generation performance and long-term architectural scalability. The Cisco UCS C845A platform, powered by AMD Instinct™ MI350P GPUs, and AMD Pensando Pollara 400G NIC leverages the cutting-edge AMD CDNA™ 4 architecture to deliver a significant leap in computational power, specifically engineered to handle the most demanding generative AI and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. The platform provides enhanced AI training and inference performance, high-bandwidth HBM3E memory, an open enterprise-ready ROCm™ software stack, and simplified deployment within existing infrastructure. By transitioning to this platform, organizations gain a robust, scalable foundation that is purpose-built to evolve alongside the rapidly changing landscape of AI and HPC, ensuring long-term investment protection and sustained performance gains.
