Tata consultancy services and AMD have partnered up to enable access two 200 MW of AI compute for the world’s second-most populous nation, as per an official press release.
The two companies will develop a new AI-rack based off AMD’s Helios AI infrastructure, and the hardware will be tailored for India’s national requirements and uses.
“AI adoption is accelerating from pilots to large-scale deployments, and that shift requires a new blueprint for compute infrastructure,” said AMD CEO Dr Lisa Su.
“With ‘Helios,’ we are delivering an open, rack-scale AI platform designed for performance, efficiency, and long-term flexibility. Together with TCS, we are enabling enterprises across India to deploy AI at scale today while building the compute foundation of tomorrow,” She also said.
The update comes after AMD posted Q4 earnings, showing a slight drag in performance compared to NVIDIA.
AMD is now considered a market leader in chipmaking and infrastructure for AI applications, second only to a handful of players such as NVIDIA and a few other tech firms.
They’re also suppliers of AI chips to the Chinese market, mainly distributing the Instinct MI308 accelerator.
At the time of writing, AMD shares were trading at $207.32.
“This collaboration lays the foundation for AMD’s first ‘Helios’ powered AI infrastructure in India. By combining our strengths in AI, connectivity, sustainable power, and advanced data center engineering, we are poised to deliver state-of-the-art infrastructure solutions for AI companies and global enterprises,” said TCS CEO K. Krithivasan.
“We are thrilled to deepen our longstanding partnership with AMD as we expand our participation in the AI ecosystem – Infrastructure to Intelligence,”
