On Monday, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) said it is expanding work with Tata Consultancy Services to roll out its newest AI data center design in India, a move aimed at taking share from Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) in a fast-scaling market.
The effort leans on Helios’ rack-scale architecture and ties into TCS’s HyperVault push to build AI-ready facilities for hyperscalers and enterprises.
Bloomberg reported the companies’ plan to use AMD’s Helios data center blueprint to support up to 200 megawatts of AI infrastructure capacity in India.
The announcement fits AMD’s broader push to sell more of the full stack needed to stand up AI compute, rather than only individual chips.
How AMD Plans To Challenge Nvidia’s Dominance
The India build-out centers on a rack-scale platform called Helios that AMD and TCS plan to co-develop for data centers, using AMD Instinct MI455X GPUs, next-generation AMD EPYC “Venice” CPUs, and AMD Pensando Vulcano networking.
The design also uses AMD’s ROCm software stack, positioning the system as an open alternative for large AI deployments.
AMD CEO Lisa Su said in Monday’s statement, “AI adoption is accelerating from pilots to large-scale deployments, and that shift requires a new blueprint for compute infrastructure,” adding that the partnership is meant to help organizations deploy AI at scale while building longer-term capacity.
Momentum for AMD’s accelerators has also been showing up in partner checks.
