[AMD] AMD Thesis 2026: MI300X Hyperscaler Ramp Challenges NVIDIA's AI Infrastructure Dominance
AMD delivered FY2025 revenue of ~$29.5B driven by Data Center GPU (MI300X) ramp to ~$10B+ and EPYC server CPU share reaching ~23-25%. Non-GAAP EPS ~$6.20 at ~28% operating margin as Data Center mix enriched gross margins toward ~54.5%. The FY2026 thesis is whether MI350/MI400 can sustain hyperscaler adoption against NVIDIA Blackwell, whether EPYC reaches 30%+ server CPU share, and whether ROCm software closes the training gap that has kept AMD as secondary AI supplier.
