AMD Instinct GPU server solutions via AMD's OEM and system-builder partners

NEGATIVE, DELIBERATELY NOT STRUCTURAL: this is a quote-only channel - no price and no lead time is published on any page, checked 2026-10-04 per source spl-negative-no-oem-publishes-lead-time. The lead time exists inside a sales conversation; it is simply not printed. Contrast with the on-demand cloud records, where null means the concept does not apply.

EAR 742.6(a)(6)(iii)(A) + EAR 744.23 (Entity List) + EAR 744.6 (Unverified / MEU lists) + EAR Regional Stability (RS) controls for Country Groups D:1, D:4, D:5 (88 FR 73458, Oct 2023)

LAYER 1, EXPORT LICENCE: under the Jan 2026 BIS rule 91 FR 1684 (effective 2026-01-15) the license review policy for advanced-computing commodities with TPP < 21,000 AND total DRAM bandwidth < 6,500 GB/s - the NVIDIA H200 and AMD MI325X are the rule's named examples - moved from PRESUMPTION OF DENIAL to CASE-BY-CASE REVIEW, but only for exports FROM THE UNITED STATES to end users located in China or Macau, and only against six exporter certifications filed via SNAP-R before shipment: (1) items below the thresholds with the count of units shipped in the US; (2) sufficient US supply, judged 'taking into account normal lead times'; (3) no diversion of global foundry capacity away from US end users; (4) aggregate China+Macau shipments <= 50% of total US end-use shipments of that product; (5) no end-user or use prohibition; (6) the consignee runs rigorous KYC. Every shipment must then pass a qualified third-party testing lab - US-headquartered, not controlled by a D:5/Macau entity, no ownership stake in any party, qualification revocable by BIS at any time - verifying TPP, total DRAM bandwidth, interconnect bandwidth and copackaged DRAM capacity. Reexports and in-country transfers of the same chips to China/Macau REMAIN PRESUMPTION OF DENIAL. LAYER 2, END-USER AND PARENT SCREENING: per BIS guidance of 2026-05-31 a licence is required where the consignee is HEADQUARTERED in Country Group D:5 (15 CFR part 740 supplement no. 1) or Macau OR whose ULTIMATE PARENT COMPANY is so headquartered - even when the consignee itself sits outside D:5/Macau. The requirement sits at EAR 742.6(a)(6)(iii)(A) for destinations outside the US, with an exception available only under the license exception at 740.2(a)(9)(ii). The destination country alone therefore never answers the question; screen the parent. LAYER 3, REMAINING LIMITS: exports to D:5/Macau-headquartered OR -parented entities stay PRESUMPTION OF DENIAL wherever the buyer sits, and the AI Diffusion Rule that would have set a country-tier structure on who could lawfully buy what was RESCINDED on 2025-05-13 and is not being enforced, so any recorded status rests on the instruments named here rather than on tiering. UPGRADE NOTE: this record's earlier text cited only the Oct 2023 interim final rule (88 FR 73458) and a presumption of denial, with no paragraph and no mechanism. That is retained here as history: what changed is that the Jan 2026 rule (91 FR 1684) carved the TPP < 21,000 / DRAM < 6,500 GB/s band - which includes the H200 and MI325X on this record - out of presumption of denial into case-by-case review for US exports to China/Macau end users, and that BIS's 2026-05-31 guidance fixed the end-user/parent limb at 742.6(a)(6)(iii)(A).

QUOTE-ONLY - AMD publishes no accelerator price list at all, so price_usd is null by evidence, not by omission. This is the best-documented OEM channel of the three accelerator vendors because AMD publishes the partner roster explicitly on the Instinct where-to-buy page: Advantech, AMAX, ASRock Rack, ASUS, Bull AI, CANCOM, Colfax Customized Solutions, Dell Technologies, Eviden, Exxact, GIGABYTE, HPE, Aivres, Inventec, KOI Computers, Lenovo, MiTAC, MSI, Nor-tech, PEGATRON, Penguin Solutions, Supermicro, Symmetric Computing, Wistron. That list is the practical answer to 'who can actually sell me an MI350X' - it is long, unlike NVIDIA's, and it is a real sourcing advantage for AMD. Featured systems AMD names directly: Dell PowerEdge XE9785/XE9785L (6U), HPE ProLiant Compute XD685 (6U, 5th Gen EPYC), GIGABYTE G893-ZX1 (8U), Supermicro AS-8126GS-TNMR (8U). AMD also runs a Helios rackscale solution (72x MI455X) as the flagship. BASIS: as with HGX, Instinct accelerators in these systems are OAM modules on the baseboard and arrive WITH the system - there is no retail single-OAM SKU from AMD, so any 'per-GPU MI350X price' is a derived allocation, never a list price. Access motion is 'Contact Sales' plus the OEM catalogue; cloud access is a separate route. EXPORT CONTROLLED (true). Regime: US BIS advanced-computing export controls (the Oct 2023 interim final rule, 88 FR 73458 - source sup-buy-bis-2023-advanced-computing-controls), which put datacenter accelerators under ECCN 3A090/4A090, added the advanced-computing Foreign Direct Product (FDP) rule, and extended Regional Stability (RS) controls to Country Groups D:1, D:4 and D:5. For items destined to Macau or Country Group D:5 the rule applies a PRESUMPTION OF DENIAL; other RS destinations get a presumption of approval. Practical effect: which accelerator you can legally be sold, and which SKU counts as compliant, is set by destination and end user - not by the channel. LEAD TIME: null, deliberately. AMD publishes no lead time in weeks for Instinct MI300X/MI325X/MI350X on any page, and this channel is quote-only, so a number here would be invented. The honest comparison is with NVIDIA, whose primary filing does disclose the shape of its horizon ($95.2bn of purchase and supply/capacity obligations substantially payable through FY2027 - source spl-nvda-10k-fy2026-supply-commitments); a rival that publishes nothing at all is a procurement risk, not a shorter lead time, and the MI325X is the part BIS singled out by name in the January 2026 case-by-case rule (91 FR 1684), so its export path is documented while its delivery path is not. LEAD TIME: null and it is an EXPLICIT NEGATIVE, checked 2026-10-04. This is a quote-only channel - no price and no lead time is published on any page, and AGENTS.md forbids inventing an unsourced number, so the field stays null with the reason recorded. The negative is itself a procurement fact: a channel that will not state a lead time is a channel where the lead time is set by whatever allocation you happen to have, and it is exactly the kind of number to ask for in writing before signing. Probe log and per-vendor detail in source spl-negative-no-oem-publishes-lead-time; the one figure published anywhere in this chain is AWS's 8-week MAXIMUM Capacity Block booking horizon, which is a commitment ceiling rather than a delivery time. EXPORT CONTROL REGIME: SCHEME RECLASSIFIED (2026-10-04): was a bare boolean plus 'EXPORT CONTROLLED (true). Regime: the Oct 2023 interim final rule, 88 FR 73458' with no paragraph, no mechanism and no expiry. Now recorded as a citation plus the three-layer mechanism.
