CS-3

Active

Current production wafer-scale system, one WSE-3 per chassis, used for Cerebras Cloud, OpenAI Ultrafast, AWS disaggregated decode, and on-prem clusters. The 5nm WSE-3 is 46,225 mm2 with 4 trillion transistors, 900,000 AI cores, 44 GB of on-chip SRAM, and 21 PB/s of memory bandwidth, about 58 times the area of an Nvidia B200 die and thousands of times its on-chip memory bandwidth.

01

Current status

In volume production. Flex is expanding Milpitas lines for an expected ~7x CS-3 output increase through 2026; Sanmina and Rocket EMS are also adding lines. Still the workhorse for OpenAI, AWS, and the inference cloud while CS-4 ramps.

Announced next steps from Cerebras Systems that mention CS-3.

  1. Q1 2027

    Launch Cerebras on Amazon Bedrock

    AWS is deploying CS-3 for decode next to Trainium prefill, connected by EFA. Management is guiding general availability on Bedrock to Q1 2027, with first hyperscale revenue later in 2027. That AWS volume is not in the $25.4 billion RPO figure, so a signed, revenue-bearing Bedrock launch would be incremental.
