Yesterday, $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ released its latest GPU and CPU products. The company claimed that the performance exceeds $NVIDIA(NVDA)$, yet AMD’s stock price still dropped nearly 5% during the regular trading hours.
Several key data points mentioned by AMD at the launch event are worth noting:
First, the data center market is projected to reach $2 trillion by 2030, with the GPU segment accounting for approximately $1.4 trillion and the CPU segment for about $220 billion.
Second, over the next few years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for GPUs is expected to be approximately 18%, in line with expectations. The real surprise came from server CPUs. Back in May this year, AMD estimated the server CPU market size at only $120 billion, but it has now raised that figure significantly to $220 billion, representing a CAGR of about 40%.
Currently, AMD holds a 32% share of the server CPU market, second only to $Intel(INTC)$.
AMD has also secured massive data center agreements with AI leaders such as OpenAI and Anthropic, with total contracted capacity reaching approximately 14GW. AMD could generate roughly $15 billion–$20 billion in revenue per GW. The data center business alone could sustain AMD’s growth for years.
According to analysts’ forecasts, AMD’s revenue growth rate is expected to be around 44% this year and around 56% in 2027.
While AMD’s future growth remains strong, the market was indifferent to this launch because AMD's current price-to-sales ratio is at historically high levels.
Overall, as long as there isn't a drastic technological change, AMD's long-term growth story remains intact. Going forward, the stock will either need time to grow into its valuation, or experience a pullback that resets its valuation. If AMD experiences a significant pullback, it could present an attractive opportunity.
