AMD's 192 GB Gorgon Halo prices might leave you petrified
What's happening
AMD has listed its 192 GB Gorgon Halo server offering with regular pricing starting at $6,799. The Gorgon Halo pairs with AMD's new 256-core EPYC platform that supports 16-channel DDR5-12800, delivering up to 91% of the memory bandwidth of an RTX 5090, and highlights large RDIMM kits such as 2 TB DDR5-12800 discussed in community threads. Community posts also note high memory and VRAM overclocking headroom (examples: 1248 GB/s on a 5070ti with +5500 memory overclocks and an unlocked mlock for GDDR7), framing memory capacity and bandwidth as central to local inference performance.
Why it's trending
Because vendors are shipping extremely high-capacity DDR5 systems and the community is obsessing over memory bandwidth and overclocking, so price and performance of massive-memory AMD servers are trending now.

- 1248 GB/s on 5060ti (+40%) with +5500 memory overclocks
edit: sorry should be 5070ti There now is unlock for higher memory overclocks called mlock. And apparently the GDDR7 has a lot of headroom: Of course this can help massively for local inference, especially token generation.
