Cisco and AMD Join Forces with HUMAIN on Saudi Arabia AI Infrastructure Push

Cisco Systems and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) have partnered with HUMAIN to deploy AI infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. This joint effort combines AMD's Instinct MI355X GPUs and EPYC CPUs with Cisco networking infrastructure. The deployment will support HUMAIN customers across the Kingdom and beyond.

The companies plan to roll out up to 250 MW of AI infrastructure through their joint venture, which is expected to start in 2027. This initiative aims to establish an open, large-scale AI platform in Saudi Arabia and increase the country's AI computing capacity. By 2030, they hope to deploy up to 1 GW of AI infrastructure.

Cisco's N9000 Series platform powers the MI355X GPUs through a network fabric engineered for low-latency performance and operational resilience. This allows HUMAIN to deliver GPU-as-a-service for various applications, including AI model training and inferencing.
