Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is advancing its Ryzen AI platform to support local agentic AI development, with the newly launched Ryzen AI Halo systems available through Micro Center. This initiative enables developers to utilize workstation-class AI PCs powered by Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processors, which support up to 128GB of memory and can run AI models with 200 billion parameters. The company also introduced the Ryzen AI Max PRO 400 Series processors, capable of executing 300-billion-parameter models, aiming to enhance enterprise-grade AI applications.
During the Bank of America Technology Conference, AMD stated that the demand for high-performance CPUs is surging due to the shift towards more complex autonomous AI capabilities. The company anticipates a 70% growth in server CPU revenues in Q2, driven by increased adoption of its EPYC processors, while it plans to launch the sixth-gen EPYC Venice in 2026.
Despite significant prospects, AMD faces stiff competition from NVIDIA and Intel, both of which are active in the AI space with various advanced products. As of 2023, AMD shares have surged 158.4% year-to-date, exceeding the Zacks Computer and Technology sector’s growth of 16.6%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AMD’s earnings in 2026 is $7.18 per share, suggesting a 72.2% growth from 2025.
