QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF AMD
AMD, formally recognized as Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., is a prominent American fabless semiconductor enterprise. Its primary concentration encompasses chip design, software bolstering, and comprehensive marketing initiatives.
This company extends a diverse spectrum of offerings, encompassing both hardware and software realms. Among its offerings, semiconductor chips stand as notable hardware products, complemented by a suite of software solutions. These innovations find extensive utility across a multitude of sectors, including:
- Consumer electronics, such as personal computers and desktops.
- Data Centers – Centralized facility designed to house and manage a large amount of computing hardware, data storage, networking equipment, etc.
- Gaming – Dynamic realm of digital games, catering to avid gamers and enthusiasts.
- Robotics & Edge AI devices – Integration of AI and automation into robotic systems for intelligent automation and real-time decision-making.
AMD’s inception traces back to 1969, and a significant milestone was reached when it conducted an IPO in 1972. During this milestone moment, the company debuted on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the ticker symbol “AMD”.
Products & Solutions
AMD primarily designs semiconductor chips for their hardware products, categorized into four main groups:
- Processors - Brain of the PC (e.g. CPU)
- Graphics - Chip for graphics, visuals and programming parallel processing (e.g. GPU)
- Adaptive System on Chips (SoCs) & Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs)

- Accelerators, SOMs & Smart NICs

In addition to their hardware chip design endeavors, they provide solutions tailored to six key market platforms within the industry:

FUTURE PLANS OF AMD
In 2022, AMD unveiled its 5-year growth strategy (2022-2027) centered around expanding five key areas, as depicted in the graphic below:

Apart from their drive to enhance their AI capabilities, AMD is also directing their efforts towards advancing their position in data center dominance. This strategic emphasis is attributed to the data center’s pivotal role in fostering the progress of AI, particularly concerning machine learning & deep learning.
In pursuit of an extended footprint in the data center realm, AMD presents an unparalleled array of data center computing solutions, solidifying their stance as an industry leader:
Nvidia is also focusing on their data center leadership expansion. Click on the link to find out more!
MERGER & ACQUISITIONS
During 2022, AMD further broadened its portfolio of chip offerings through the acquisitions of both Xilinx and Pensando.

Xilinx stands at the forefront as the primary supplier of FPGAs and SoCs. These chips boast exceptional customization capabilities, allowing for post-deployment functional modifications.
Xilinx‘s chip solutions find extensive utilization across domains like data centers, telecommunications, automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectors. AMD acquired Xilinx in February 2022, thereby reinforcing AMD’s portfolio in high-performance computing.
Pensando specializes in crafting solutions for software-defined infrastructures in data centers and cloud settings. Their range of products and technological innovations plays a pivotal role in reshaping and contemporizing data center architectures, with a particular focus on enhancing networking and security within cloud environments.
Reflecting this objective, AMD completed the acquisition of Pensando in May 2022, marking a strategic move to augment AMD’s prowess in data center solutions.
AMD VS NVIDIA
AMD and Nvidia, two industry giants, stand as prominent players in the realm of advanced computing and graphics solutions. As such, it is beneficial for us to compare their potential advancement in the AI field and their market share respectively.
Here’s a brief comparison between the two based on key pointers:

COMPUTING APPROACH & SOFTWARE SUPPORT
The computing approach pertains to the fundamental hardware structure employed for AI computations. This involves distinct hardware elements like CPUs, GPUs, or dedicated AI chips, along with their capacity to enhance AI tasks.
The illustration below presents a comparison of the computing approaches adopted by AMD and Nvidia:

Software support for AI frameworks is like having a toolbox full of helpful tools for people who want to create and use AI technology. These tools make it easier to build, train, and use AI models, so that computers can learn and make smart decisions. It’s like having special tools that help AI technology work better and faster.
The diagram below shows the comparison between classic computing and machine learning when developing the AI frameworks:

In traditional computing, algorithms need hands-on training. Whereas in machine learning, algorithms can be trained with less human involvement, which accelerates the AI framework creation process.Large text.
CHIPS COMPARISON
AMD, with its Radeon Instinct GPUs, is carving a space in data centers for AI and HPC workloads. The acquisition of Xilinx further enhances AMD’s data center capabilities.
While Nvidia has traditionally led in AI and GPU-accelerated computing, recent developments reveal that AMD has introduced the MI300X AI chip, positioning it as a contender against Nvidia’s H100 chip.

Although Nvidia’s GPUs have held the spotlight for AI training, software company MosaicML revealed that AMD’s AI chips are approaching similar speed, potentially becoming competitive due to the crucial role of software in large language model (LLM) training.

MARKET PRESENCE
Nvidia has historically enjoyed a significant presence and market share in both gaming and professional graphics markets. Its GPUs have become synonymous with high-performance computing, AI, and deep learning. In 2022, 87% of Nvidia’s revenue came from GPU sales.

In terms of market reach, AMD has a wider presence than Nvidia. Even though many AMD chips power gaming consoles, the company has also expanded through Ryzen processors and Radeon GPUs, competing well in gaming and professional markets. In 2022, GPU revenue contributed only 8%, significantly less than CPU (72%) and FPGA (20%).

This leads us smoothly to the next section, where we’ll delve deeper into AMD’s financial performance in the fiscal year 2022.
QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF AMD
REVENUE GENERATION

In FY 2022, AMD has generated a total of USD 23.6 billion from these 4 business segments:

In terms of geographical distribution, the United States emerged as the leading contributor, accounting for 34.1% of the total revenue. China (including Hong Kong) secured the second position, contributing 22.1%, followed by Japan at 17.7%. The remaining 26.1% originated from various other global regions.

Interestingly, in comparison to the preceding fiscal year (FY 2022), the Embedded segment emerged as the second-highest contributor, accounting for around 29% of the overall revenue. This surpassed the Data Center segment, which constituted 24%, and the Client segment, which contributed 14%.
A significant factor behind the substantial revenue decline in the Client segment can be attributed to the broader downturn in the semiconductor industry, causing a decline in PC sales. This industry-wide slump impacted the Client segment’s performance notably.

Templeton and is a current member of the John M. Templeton Foundation, established in 1987 by renowned international investor, Sir John Templeton. She began investing as a child under the heavy influence of her father as well as her late great-uncle, Sir John Templeton.
About Sir John Templeton
Sir John Marks Templeton was born in 1912, in the small town of Winchester, Tennessee. He attended Yale University and graduated near the top of his class and as President of Phi Beta Kappa. He was named a Rhodes Scholar to Balliol College at Oxford, from which he graduated with a degree in law.
Templeton started his Wall Street career in 1938 and went on to create some of the world’s largest and most successful international investment funds. He was famous for picking companies that hit “points of maximum pessimism” (ie. Rock bottom prices). When war began in Europe in 1939, he borrowed money to buy 100 shares each in 104 companies selling at one dollar per share or less, including 34 companies that were in bankruptcy. Only four turned out to be worthless, and he turned large profits on the others.
Templeton established the Templeton Growth Fund in 1954. With dividends reinvested, each $10,000 invested in the Templeton Growth Fund Class A at its inception would have grown to $2 million by 1992. He eventually sold the family of Templeton Funds to the Franklin Group — scores of them with $13 billion in assets — in 1992, and turned to philanthropies that had engaged him for decades.
