How to buy AMD stock.
AMD is the main alternative AI accelerator supplier as labs and hyperscalers look to diversify away from a single chip vendor. Its MI300X and MI350 series compete directly with Nvidia's H100 and Blackwell for AI training and inference workloads. AMD trades at a lower valuation than Nvidia and is seen by many investors as a higher-risk, higher-upside way to bet on AI chip demand.
Why AMD is an AI stock.
AMD's MI-series GPUs are being adopted by Microsoft Azure and other hyperscalers as a second-source supplier alongside Nvidia. Meta and others have run large training workloads on AMD hardware. As AI chip demand grows, having two viable GPU platforms benefits the whole supply chain.
AMD is in the AI chip designers category. The GPUs and custom accelerators that train and serve every frontier AI model. Chip designers sit at the center of the AI hardware stack.
