ā™ØļøNews – Ā AMD is partnering with OpenAI to supply six gigawatts of AI processors over five years, challenging Nvidia’s lead in the AI chip market. OpenAI plans to start with a one-gigawatt deployment of AMD Instinct MI450 GPUs in the second half of 2026 to support tools like ChatGPT.

šŸ‘Øā€šŸ’»Fast facts – 

  • AMD expects the deal to generate tens of billions of dollars in revenue.

  • OpenAI can receive up to 160 million AMD shares at one cent each as milestones are reached.

  • AMD stock rose 24 percent in pre-market trading after the announcement.
