Key Points

Rumors suggest AMD’s next Strix Halo refresh, codenamed the “Gorgon Halo 495 Max,” could include up to 192GB of memory, surpassing the current 128GB ceiling mentioned in earlier expectations.
The same discussion claims CPU and GPU upgrades may be more modest than the memory expansion, with no clear information yet confirming additional memory details beyond the higher-capacity SKUs.
A user speculates that 192GB would make it feasible to run very large MoE models and recent 122B-class models at higher quantization levels (e.g., Q8) with comparatively full context.
The post emphasizes that these are still leaks/rumors and that final confirmation is pending, so potential buyers should wait for official announcements.
If the memory jump is real, it could reduce the need for an external GPU for running smaller dense models in the short term, although the speaker notes they may change plans as more information emerges.

Looks like the next strix halo, the Gorgon halo 495 max will have more then 128gb! I already bought a strix halo mini forms couple months ago since the 2026 refesh rumors was not interesting. Was not planning on getting another till 2027 with the bigger refresh, and linking them together. But was planning to add an external gpu for running smaller dense models for now till 2027. Cpu, gpu rumor was smaller improvements. Heard nothing about more memory.

But idk having 320gb of memory will allow running some of these newer huge moe models... maybe I drop external gpu thoughts for now. Of course rumors for now need to wait.

For those who have not bought one yet, a single 192gb would mean running all these recent 122b models at q8 with fullish context!
