On Monday, OpenAI revealed a substantial deal to acquire AMD chips, committing to purchase 6 gigawatts over the coming years. This agreement also grants OpenAI the option to acquire a 10% stake in AMD, reflecting its confidence in the growing demand for generative artificial intelligence. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman emphasized the need for increased computing power, stating, 'The world needs much more compute.' The first deployment of AMD's Instinct MI450 GPUs is scheduled for the second half of 2026. This partnership is expected to bolster AMD's position against Nvidia in the AI chip market. Analysts view this as a strategic move for both companies, with AMD gaining a marquee customer in OpenAI. The tech industry is projected to invest heavily in AI infrastructure, with OpenAI's deal being part of a broader trend of significant investments in data centers.
