Samsung Electronics and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) have expanded their strategic collaboration to accelerate AI-powered network innovations, moving from joint verification to commercial deployments.
Samsung’s 5G Core, virtualized RAN (vRAN) and private network solutions are now powered by AMD EPYC 9005 Series processors, including a recent deployment with Canadian operator Videotron for 5G NSA and 4G LTE Core gateway solutions. At MWC 2026 in Spain, Samsung showcased AI-RAN advancements based on multi-cell testing using AMD EPYC CPUs, demonstrating commercial-grade performance on a fully virtualized software stack without additional hardware accelerators.
The companies are also advancing enterprise AI use cases through Samsung’s Network in a Server (NIS), an Edge-AI solution powered by AMD CPUs. The platform enables operators to integrate AI into network environments more efficiently, supporting applications such as video analytics, sensing technologies and next-generation device connectivity.
