AMD’s AI Chip Expansion

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is set to launch its new MI450 data center chips for AI workloads later this year. In Q1 2026, AMD’s data center segment generated $5.8 billion in revenue, marking a 57% increase year-over-year, contributing to total revenues of $10.3 billion—a 38% rise overall. With anticipated shipments of the MI450 expected to ramp up into 2027, AMD forecasts its data center business growth will accelerate to at least 80% annually, potentially leading to tens of billions in revenue from this segment alone.

The MI450 series claims to deliver 36 times more performance than its previous generation GPUs and has already secured major partnerships with Meta Platforms and OpenAI, each committing to deploy 6 gigawatts of computing capacity. AMD’s non-GAAP earnings surged by 43% year-over-year to $1.37 per share, reflecting significant demand and pricing power in the data center GPU market.
