AMD should do well, replying to a post that says its EPYC CPUs are in massive demand and taking share from Intel. x.comÂ

Technology & Semiconductor Equity Commentary
Agentic AI demand should drive AMD's 2027 data-center growth well over 100% year on year. Server CPU revenue is forecast to double, with over 5 million Venice units shipping in 2027; Helios racks should ramp mostly in Q1 2027, with over 20,000 expected that year, while MI450/455X volume remains limited by end-2026. Projected 2027 sales are $103bn, with 2027 EPS revised up 15% and a new $720 target at 40x 2027 earnings. x.comÂ
AMD could reach $750 from $630 as data center GPU sales surge and momentum in AI workloads stays strong. Real wealth is built by buying in weak weeks like this one and holding, not by buying all-time highs. x.comÂ
Intel and AMD face a real shift in competition as NVIDIA moves into CPUs faster and more directly than expected. On NVIDIA's earnings call, Jensen Huang said its new Vera CPU platform will contribute $20 billion of standalone revenue this year. The pressure on Intel and AMD is not just fund rotation but a genuine change in the competitive landscape. x.comÂ
AMD has plenty of room to run as it breaks all-time highs, because AI demand is exploding and the company is just getting started. The economy is still growing strongly and tech innovation is accelerating, while bears have called for a crash for years as the market kept climbing. x.comÂ
AMD is having a breakout year as hyperscalers spend more than $600 billion on infrastructure in 2026, about $450 billion of it on AI. Its CPU market share has climbed to 29.2%, and partnerships with OpenAI and Meta show it is no longer playing second fiddle to Nvidia. Its MI300 series is winning data-center workloads, and it is executing on its roadmap with a consistency that deserves respect. x.comÂ
Nvidia's deals trading compute for equity in AI companies are a win for everyone except AMD, and it is literally over for AMD. @LootJunkiee calls it Nvidia turning AI startups into its personal revenue stream, the definition of ecosystem domination, while @tickerade notes shares for compute, or for tokens as with OpenAI, is becoming a new revenue model for AI companies. x.com x.comÂ
AMD could see much more accelerator demand as OpenAI and Anthropic allegedly increase their orders by multiple gigawatts. Nvidia's only real edge over AMD may soon be its size and resources; Lisa Su is a master operator. x.comÂ
Data-center and AI-chip demand underpins the case for owning Advanced Micro Devices. x.comÂ
AMD is priced as if it is winning the ecosystem war when it is fighting uphill, which makes it unattractive. Its chips now compete, but Nvidia built CUDA and the tooling everyone runs on, and switching means rebuilding that foundation, which almost nobody wants to do. AMD's realistic opportunity is newer data centers without that foundation, which is what has been happening. Yet nearly every sell-side firm rates it a buy at about 50x forward earnings. x.comÂ
AMD's AI thesis is intact, and the current weakness is temporary macro noise. Raymond James upgraded AMD to Strong Buy with a $641 target, expecting the server CPU market to reach $201 billion by 2030 on a 44% compound annual growth rate as hyperscalers scale for agentic AI. Per Raymond James, AMD offers the cleanest mix of earnings leverage, pure-play data-center exposure and share gains against legacy compute. Hardware demand is accelerating. x.comÂ
