This chipmaker’s offerings are now gaining terrific traction among customers.
Nvidia and Broadcom are the leading players in the artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor market. Both chip designers dominate their respective niches, which has helped them clock respectable gains on the market so far this year.
Nvidia’s leading position in the data center graphics processing unit (GPU) market has led to a 39% jump in its stock price this year. Meanwhile, rapidly growing demand for custom AI processors has sent shares of Broadcom up by 48%. However, the gains clocked by these semiconductor stocks are well below the 99% spike in shares of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD 1.11%).
A nice chunk of AMD’s gains has arrived since the beginning of October, after it became evident that its stature in the AI chip market is rising. Let’s look at the reasons why AMD has shot into the limelight and has upstaged its more illustrious rivals of late.
