What Advanced Micro Devices does

Designs CPUs and GPUs for PCs, servers and AI data centers, competing head-to-head with Intel and Nvidia.

Designs chips and relies on TSMC to make them. Sells server processors to cloud companies, accelerators to data centers and PC chips to PC makers, and also supplies the processors inside Sony and Microsoft game consoles. The 2022 purchase of Xilinx added its programmable-chip line.

Products and services

  • Server CPUs (EPYC)
  • Data-center GPUs (Instinct)
  • Client CPUs (Ryzen)
  • FPGAs (Xilinx)

Customers

  • Microsoft
  • Meta
  • Oracle
  • PC OEMs (Dell, HP, Lenovo)

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Semiconductors
  • CPU/GPU design (fabless)
  • Data-center & PC processors

What could go right

  • AI GPU share gains vs Nvidia
  • Server CPU share gains vs Intel

What could go wrong

  • Nvidia's CUDA software moat in AI
  • Foundry (TSMC) capacity dependence

Moat: narrow (IP / patents, process know-how, customer qualification). x86 license plus TSMC leading-edge access lets it compete on performance, but Nvidia leads on AI software.

Questions

Who are Advanced Micro Devices's main competitors?
Named competitors: Intel (INTC), Nvidia (NVDA), Qualcomm (client) (QCOM). The cockpit's measured peer set (industry) also includes Micron Technology (MU), SK hynix (000660.KS), SamsungElec (005930.KS), ASML (ASML.AS), CXMT (688825.SS), Broadcom (AVGO).
Is Advanced Micro Devices expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 30.0× against a peer median of 16.9×, 4th most expensive of 10 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 61% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +29%, so the hurdle is +32 pp: the price needs faster growth than the company has been delivering — of companies that just grew 25–50% a year, 93.8% slowed down over the next four years.
How has Advanced Micro Devices stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -1.4% against -12.0% for the median peer; over one year +75.2%.
What is Advanced Micro Devices's backlog?
Advanced Micro Devices's remaining performance obligations (contracted revenue not yet recognised) were $246M at 26 Sep 2026, -12% on a year earlier.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
