AMD stock gained 2.7% on Tuesday after Citi raised its price target on Advanced Micro Devices to $800 from $575, citing the potential impact of agentic artificial intelligence on demand for computing infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Citi analyst Atif Malik reiterated a Buy rating on AMD and said the firm now expects the CPU market to reach $300 billion by 2030. <\/p>\n

The revised outlook follows the launch of several personal AI agents, including Muse, Dots, Instinct, GrokBot and GeminiSpark.<\/p>\n

Malik said agentic AI could drive significantly higher compute demand than traditional chatbots because AI agents can operate continuously and autonomously execute multi-step tasks.<\/p>\n

Citi sees $300B CPU market by 2030<\/h2>\n

Citi estimates that the total addressable market for CPUs could expand from $29 billion in 2025 to $300 billion by 2030.<\/p>\n

Malik said the firm updated its CPU model following the emergence of personal AI agents. <\/p>\n

He argued that agents differ from traditional chatbots because they can continue operating between direct user interactions.<\/p>\n

The analyst highlighted cybersecurity as an example of a potential use case where always-on agents could generate substantially higher token volumes. <\/p>\n

This could increase inference and computing demand across both enterprise and consumer workloads.<\/p>\n

Malik also identified Meta Platforms\u2019 Muse as one of the first agentic AI agents to launch at what he described as true social-network scale. <\/p>\n

However, he noted that its eventual computing requirements remain an important uncertainty for the broader AI infrastructure market.<\/p>\n

Citi sees AMD as a key beneficiary of what Malik called a potential CPU renaissance. <\/p>\n

The analyst also noted that Meta is among AMD\u2019s largest customers in its server business.<\/p>\n

AMD plans to increase chip supply in 2027<\/h2>\n

AMD is also preparing to increase chip production as AI demand continues to exceed its current supply capacity.<\/p>\n

CEO Lisa Su said during a visit to Taipei on Tuesday that the company had increased supply during 2026 and planned to substantially increase it in 2027, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n

Su expects chip demand to remain high for the next few years. She also said AMD needs additional advanced wafer capacity and is now planning supply three to five years ahead.<\/p>\n

The company is working with suppliers to expand production of central processing units and graphics processing units. <\/p>\n

Su had met with Foxconn and was scheduled to meet Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. as part of the effort.<\/p>\n

AMD is also working with memory suppliers to secure enough components. <\/p>\n

Memory remains constrained across the industry, including high-bandwidth memory used in AI servers, Su said, according to Taiwan\u2019s Central News Agency.<\/p>\n

Data centre revenue more than doubles<\/h2>\n

AMD\u2019s latest results underscore the strength of demand for its data centre products. <\/p>\n

Second-quarter data centre revenue reached $6.7 billion<\/a>, up 107% year over year, driven by demand for EPYC processors and Instinct GPUs.<\/p>\n

The segment represented 58% of AMD\u2019s total quarterly revenue of $11.5 billion.<\/p>\n

AMD also expects its Helios rack-scale AI systems to support further growth. <\/p>\n

The systems were already in production according to the company\u2019s July statement, with OpenAI deployments expected to begin in the fourth quarter and accelerate through 2027.<\/p>\n

With Citi projecting a $300 billion CPU market by 2030, many investors track long-term AI infrastructure plays like AMD through investment platforms.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
