Notes
The eight-way XD685 in its AMD Instinct MI355X configuration, liquid cooled, with accelerator kit S6J64A. This is an all-AMD machine, pairing eight MI355X OAM modules with two fifth-generation AMD EPYC processors. No chassis part number is recorded: HPE names the accelerator kit but never states which chassis it requires, and the two candidates differ. Compute comes from AMD's eight-GPU Instinct platform, where the sparse figures cover only the four datatypes AMD publishes them for, being FP8, FP16, BF16 and INT8; AMD gives no structured-sparsity figure for MXFP4 or MXFP6. HPE publishes no system power draw for the XD685, only twelve 3,000 W Titanium supplies, so nothing is summed.
