Q&A Batch (1-5 of 10)

Q1 — Vivek Arya

• Topic: Data center CPU/GPU mix, MI355 to MI400 transition, and OpenAI engagement
• Key points:
  • Q3 data center business had strong outperformance in both server and AI, without any MI308 sales; MI355 ramp was sharp and proceeded well.
  • Q4 data center performance expected up double digits sequentially, with growth in both server and AI.
  • MI355 expected to continue ramping in first half of 2026; MI450 Series comes online in second half of 2026 with a sharper ramp.
  • OpenAI relationship: first gigawatt deployment starts in second half of 2026, planning multiple quarters out for power and supply chain.
• Mgmt stance: Bullish — strong demand environment into 2026, good visibility into MI450 ramp, and close collaboration with OpenAI and CSP partners.

Q2 — Thomas O'Malley

• Topic: MI450/Helios rack-scale solutions and industry constraints (power, components)
• Key points:
  • OCP reception for MI450 and Helios was phenomenal; interest expanded after announcements with OpenAI, OCI, and Meta.
  • Early customers for MI450 will focus on rack-scale solutions; other form factors also available.
  • Industry must plan together for power, silicon, memory, packaging, and component supply chain over the next 2 years.
  • AMD feels well positioned with a strong supply chain prepared for significant growth rates.
• Mgmt stance: Bullish — ecosystem collaboration is strong, supply chain is prepared, and AMD is well positioned to grow significantly with MI450 and Helios into second half of 2026 and 2027.

Q3 — Joshua Buchalter

• Topic: CPU server demand sustainability, supply constraints, and ROCm progress
• Key points:
  • CPU demand broadening through 2025; large hyperscale clients forecasting significant CPU builds into 2026.
  • Turin ramp has gone extremely fast; strong demand for both Turin and Genoa product lines.
  • CPU demand environment into 2026 expected to be positive and durable, a multi-quarter phenomenon.
  • ROCm 7 is a significant step forward in performance and framework support; most customers starting with AMD have a smooth experience.
• Mgmt stance: Bullish — CPU demand is durable and positive; ROCm progress is strong, with continued investment to improve developer experience.

Q4 — Christopher Muse

• Topic: Data center GPU gross margins and growth expectations through 2026-2027
• Key points:
  • Data center GPU gross margins continue to improve when ramping a new generation; transition period at beginning of ramp, then normalize.
  • Priority is to expand top-line revenue growth and gross margin dollars, while also driving gross margin percentage up.
  • OpenAI relationship is extremely important at multi-gigawatt scale; numerous other customers in deep engagements (e.g., OCI, Department of Energy).
  • Multiple customers expected to have very significant scale in the MI450 generation; supply chain dimensioned to supply OpenAI and other partnerships.
• Mgmt stance: Bullish — excited about road map, great traction among largest customers, and broad customer engagements for MI450 generation.
