Now
AMD struck a chip supply deal with OpenAI that includes a warrant for up to 160 million AMD shares, with first-gigawatt chip rollout planned for H2 2026.
Advanced Micro Devices ↔ NVIDIA
Oct 2025 · OpenAI-AMD 6GW deal signals a marquee customer win
AMD's competitive position strengthened materially when it signed a 6-gigawatt, multi-generation GPU supply deal with OpenAI — including a warrant for up to 10% of AMD's shares — its most significant customer win yet against NVIDIA for a frontier AI lab's compute.
Jan 2026 · NVIDIA share projected to ease toward 75%
Industry estimates projected NVIDIA's AI accelerator revenue share easing from its 2024 peak toward roughly 75% by 2026, as AMD's MI350 series (shipped to hyperscalers in Q3 2025) and hyperscalers' own custom ASICs (targeting 10-15% share) both gained ground.
Now
AMD competes with NVIDIA in accelerated computing and artificial intelligence processors.
Advanced Micro Devices ↔ Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company
2024–2025
TSMC fabricated AMD's MI300X (CDNA 3) and next-generation MI350X (CDNA 4, 3nm) accelerators, competing for the same advanced-node and CoWoS packaging capacity as NVIDIA's Blackwell line.
Now
AMD depends on TSMC for manufacturing many of its advanced semiconductor products.
Advanced Micro Devices ↔ High Bandwidth Memory
Jan 2024
AMD's MI325X shipped with 256GB of HBM3e and 6 TB/s bandwidth, deliberately positioned against NVIDIA's H200 (141GB HBM3e) — more total memory capacity than any competing accelerator shipping at volume that year, AMD's main differentiator against NVIDIA's software/ecosystem advantage.
Jan 2025
AMD's next-generation MI350X (CDNA 4, built on TSMC 3nm) increased HBM3e capacity further to up to 288GB with 8 TB/s bandwidth, keeping AMD's memory-capacity lead over NVIDIA's competing chips intact into the next product cycle.
Now
Advanced AMD AI accelerators depend on high-bandwidth memory.
Advanced Micro Devices ↔ AI Accelerators
2026-Q1
AMD's Data Center segment revenue surged 57% year-over-year to $5.8 billion in Q1 2026 on EPYC and Instinct MI350 demand, with MI400 projected to generate roughly $7.2 billion in 2026 revenue — about 25% of data center sales — a result CEO Lisa Su called 'a clear inflection point.'
Now
AMD develops AI accelerators for advanced data-center computing workloads.
Advanced Micro Devices ↔ AI Data Centers
Jan 2024
AMD's MI300X accelerators (CDNA 3) shipped into AI data centers with a memory-capacity advantage over competing NVIDIA GPUs, positioning AMD as a secondary supplier to hyperscalers alongside NVIDIA.
Jan 2025
AMD's next-generation MI350X (CDNA 4, TSMC 3nm) extended AMD's data-center accelerator lineup with up to 288GB HBM3e capacity and 8 TB/s bandwidth, competing for hyperscaler AI-data-center deployments as combined AI capex rose to roughly $410 billion for the year.
Now
AMD supplies processors and accelerators used in artificial intelligence data centers.
Advanced Micro Devices ↔ Lisa Su
Oct 2014
Lisa Su became AMD's CEO in October 2014, when the company's market capitalization was roughly $2 billion, and led its turnaround into a major AI-era semiconductor competitor.
2026-Q1
Under Su, AMD's Data Center segment revenue surged 57% year-over-year to $5.8 billion in Q1 2026, pushing AMD's market capitalization past $250 billion — a result Su called 'a clear inflection point.'
Now
AMD has been led by CEO Lisa Su since October 2014, who oversaw its transformation from a roughly $2 billion market cap company into one exceeding $250 billion today.
