NVIDIA leads in training, while AMD focuses on inference. AMD's open-source approach, cost-effectiveness, and energy efficiency provide competitive advantages over NVIDIA's closed system. Recent acquisitions of Xilinx and ZT Systems enhance AMD's AI inference and datacenter capabilities, positioning it to compete against NVIDIA.
In the early days of the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure build-out, graphic processing units (GPUs) have been the go-to chips for companies to train AI models and run inference. GPUs are powerful chips that were originally designed to speed up graphics rendering in video games, but later became used for other applications after Nvidia created a software platform to allow developers to program its chips for other purposes.
2024 could be dubbed the year of artificial intelligence (AI), as the latest advances involving generative AI made their way into mainstream usage and AI-associated stocks helped power the market to new heights. Some of the biggest AI winners have been in the semiconductor sector, where AI chips provide the computing power needed to train large language models and run AI inference.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD -4.76%) has been a significant player in the semiconductor space for years, designing chips for everything from PCs to data centers. While many other semiconductor stocks have received a nice bump in their share price thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), AMD has thus far been left behind.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has sparked a rally in numerous tech stocks. Thanks to this cutting-edge technology, stocks such as Nvidia and Palantir have experienced exponential increases in their stock prices.
If there was a single overarching theme in 2024, it was arguably artificial intelligence (AI). Businesses scrambled to adopt these game-changing algorithms, cloud providers spent billions of dollars to bring their data centers up to snuff, and chipmakers went back to the drawing board, working feverishly to bring their best AI-centric semiconductors to market.

The key to AMD's success has been a well-defined product roadmap and timely execution, particularly with the Ryzen and EPYC processor lines. AMD's MI300x AI hardware initially boosted investor optimism but failed to meet practical performance expectations, causing stock retreat and highlighting software development challenges. Despite concerns surrounding AI growth, AMD's valuation remains reasonable relative to its historical averages and peer comparisons, meaning it doesn't require outsized AI revenue expansion to justify its current share.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD -5.55%) stock is losing ground in Friday's trading. The semiconductor company's share price was down 5.2% as of 11:15 a.m.
