AMD announced the successful completion of its acquisition of ZT Systems, a leading provider of AI and general-purpose compute infrastructure for the world’s largest hyperscale providers. This strategic transaction combines AMD's industry-leading CPU, GPU, and networking silicon with ZT Systems expertise in systems and rack-level design, addressing the $500 billion data center AI accelerator opportunity projected for 2028.
The acquisition will enable AMD to deliver a new class of end-to-end AI solutions, leveraging the combination of AMD's hardware and open-source ROCm software with ZT Systems rack-scale systems capabilities. This integration is expected to accelerate the design and deployment of AMD-powered AI infrastructure at scale, optimized for cloud environments.
AMD anticipates that the transaction will be accretive on a non-GAAP basis by the end of 2025. The world-class design teams from ZT Systems will join the AMD Data Center Solutions business unit, led by Executive Vice President Forrest Norrod.
“With the rapid pace of innovation in AI, reducing the end-to-end design and deployment time of cluster-level data center AI systems will be a significant competitive advantage for our customers,” said Forrest Norrod, executive vice president and general manager of the Data Center Solutions business unit at AMD. “Acquiring ZT Systems is a significant milestone in our AI strategy to deliver leadership training and inferencing solutions that are optimized for our customers unique environments, ready-to-deploy at scale, and based on our open ecosystem approach that combines open-source software, industry-standard networking technologies, and now ZT Systems leadership in systems design and customer enablement expertise. We welcome Frank Zhang, Doug Huang, and the talented ZT Systems team to AMD.
