AMD chief executive Lisa Su has defended substantial investments in artificial intelligence development against industry skepticism, arguing that increased computing resources and financial commitments accelerate innovation despite operational losses and rising energy consumption. Speaking at CNBC following the company's Financial Analyst Day event, Su characterized AI spending as a calculated risk rather than an uncertain venture, noting that computational advancement requires upfront costs.
The semiconductor manufacturer has revised its total addressable market projection for accelerators to reach $1 trillion by 2030 and expects to capture significant revenue despite NVIDIA's market dominance. Su emphasized that rapidly expanding markets favor innovation and strategic partnerships, expressing confidence in upcoming Instinct AI GPU releases, including the MI355 and MI450 series. AMD plans aggressive expansion of its rack offerings to directly challenge competing products in the accelerated computing space.
