Analysts consider AMD the second most critical AI beneficiary after Nvidia Corp NVDA. Recent reports indicated that Microsoft Corp MSFT may opt for AMD artificial intelligence chips for its cloud computing clients as it battles a supply crisis regarding Nvidia H100 GPUs.

Meanwhile, despite intense competition, AMD noted a boost in its market share in the x86 processor market for client and server categories.

Analysts noted AMD’s substantial gains in the server CPU market and its successful capture of market share in the merchant accelerator sector with the Mi300 series, positioning it as a strong competitor to Nvidia in the merchant accelerators market.

They also highlighted the untapped revenue synergies from AMD’s acquisition of Xilinx, indicating a long-term potential exceeding $10 billion.

Investors can gain exposure to AMD via AOT Growth And Innovation ETF AOTG and Spear Alpha ETF SPRX.
