Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.'s x86 server CPU revenue share hit a record 46.2% in Q1 2026, and management doubled its server CPU TAM estimate to more than $120 billion by 2030. OpenAI and Meta each signed up-to-6-gigawatt GPU deployment deals with warrant-linked equity stakes, giving both customers direct financial incentives to make AMD's hardware succeed at scale. I hold a low single-digit position. My conviction depends almost entirely on Helios rack systems entering a volume ramp before year-end.
AMD is transforming into a core AI infrastructure platform, no longer just a secondary GPU player.
