DA Davidson also pointed to Intel Corp.’s strong first-quarter earnings results as a signal that the CPU market is accelerating.

“We view Intel’s results as a precursor for a huge step-up for AMD’s CPU franchise and believe the structural shift toward [agentic] AI workloads is creating unprecedented demand for server CPUs,” DA Davidson said.

With CPU demand likely outstripping supply in the foreseeable future, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) can boost prices across its portfolio and widen profit margins, it noted.
