Is Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) The Best AI Semiconductor Stock to Buy For The Long Term?

We just covered the Jim Cramer Stock Portfolio: Top 10 Stock Picks. Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) ranks #10  (see the Jim Cramer’s top 5 stock picks in 2026 here).

Jim Cramer isn’t as enthusiastic about Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) as he is for Nvidia, but the stock remains in his Charitable Trust’s portfolio. Over the past few months, Cramer has regularly praised CEO Lisa Su, noting that Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) is well-positioned to grow despite competition from Nvidia, thanks to strong chip demand.

Here is how Cramer praised Su in October:

“In 2014, she came in. Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) was worth $2.5 billion and now it’s worth $400 billion. And it’s up again today. She stayed in PC. She moved aggressively into the data center. Lisa Su is one of the greatest executives of all time. I mean, there was a period where she was telling me, ‘Look, Jensen’s way ahead.’ But now she’s saying, ‘Look, the gap is closed.’ Congratulations Lisa Su.”

In a separate program, Cramer again praised Su. Here is what he said:

“You know what, if I didn’t own NVIDIA, I most certainly would (own AMD). It is a dog fight, and Lisa Su is fabulous,” Cramer recently said. Read his detailed comments here.
