AMD has recently become the leader in the data center CPU space. While GPUs provide the power, CPUs are the brains behind the operations. The market is not nearly as big as the one for GPUs in the data center space, but it’s still an important and growing market. In the quarter, several cloud computing providers started to offer new computing options based on AMD’s latest EPYC chips. Its CPUs also saw strong growth in the enterprise segment. AMD saw several hyperscalers (owners of massive data centers) expand their use of its GPUs for generative artificial intelligence (AI) tasks, such as AI search, rankings, and recommendations.When Advanced Micro Devices (AMD 1.14%) reported its first-quarter results recently, it gave a glimpse into why some investors remain excited about the stock’s prospects despite its poor performance over the past year. As of this writing, the stock is down about 35% during that span. Is it time to buy AMD stocks
