AMD’s New AI Chip to Rival NVIDIA?

Chip maker AMD announced its most advanced graphic processing unit (GPU) chips for artificial intelligence (AI). It is called MI300X and will start shipping late this year. These types of chips are used to build AI programs and could be a new source of revenue for the chipmaker that is mostly known for the traditional type of computer processing chips.  

The MI300X has a capacity of up to 192 GB of memory, meaning it can run bigger AI models than current AI chips allow. For example, rival NVIDIA’s H100 AI chip has 120 GB of memory. One reason NVIDIA’s chips are so popular is that it enables developers to access the chip's core hardware features.

AMD announced that its chip will have its own software called ROCm. The chips will also offer Infinity Architecture to enable using eight MI300X chips in just one system. Most AI applications use eight or more GPUs at one time.  

According to AMD CEO Lisa Su, the market for data center AI accelerator chips could grow from $30 billion this year to more than $150 billion in 2027. However, AMD hasn’t yet announced a price for the chip. NVIDIA’s H100 AI chip costs upwards of $30,000 so it will be interesting to see if they try to compete on price by being cheaper.  

Whether or not developers take AMD’s chip on board remains to be seen. Therefore, it is uncertain how it could affect the bottom line until it is released and used by AI system creators. However, there were reports that Amazon Web Services – the world’s largest cloud computing provider – is considering using AMD’s chips.  

The stock rallied on the news but then fell further down when AMD did not officially disclose a flagship buyer for its chips. This highlights just how volatile trading anything related to artificial intelligence products can be. The wide range of analyst price targets for AMD stock shown below shows the huge difference of opinion in the prospects of AMD’s share price as well.  

The volatility is only likely to continue so it is important to exercise proper risk management and diversification when considering investing in AI chip makers.

An Example Trading Idea for the AMD Stock Price

An example trading idea for the AMD share price could be as follows:  

• Buy the stock on a break above the post-news high of $133.00 to allow for volatility. 
• Target just below the highest analyst price target of $200.00. 
• Keep your risk small at a maximum of 5% of your total account.   
• Time Line = 1 – 6 months  
• If you buy 10 AMD shares:  
  • If target is reached = $670.00 potential profit [($200.00 - $133.00) * 10 shares].  

Remember that markets go up and down and it is unlikely the share price will move up in a straight line. In fact, it may even go much further down before it rises, especially considering how volatile chip stocks are right now.

Be sure to exercise good risk management and always know how much you could potentially lose on a trade and the risks involved, as well as the costs.
