AMD CEO Lisa Su: AI Agents are driving significant demand for computing power during the AI cycle and substantially elevating CPU market growth expectations
BlockBeats news, on May 6, AMD CEO Lisa Su said in an interview with CNBC that AI Agents are driving enormous demand for computing power throughout the entire AI cycle and significantly raising growth expectations for the CPU market. Enterprises have begun to truly see the value of AI for their business, and adoption is increasing rapidly. In addition to AI accelerators, CPU demand is also strong, because the new generation of AI Agents requires more general computing support.
She pointed out that in the past, the market generally believed the CPU-to-GPU demand ratio was about 1:4 or even 1:8, but now it is closer to 1:1. Previously, AMD predicted in November 2025 that the addressable CPU market would grow annually by about 18% to 20%, but it has now been raised to more than 35%, and it is expected that by 2030, the CPU market size will exceed $120 billion. Lisa Su stated that the practicality and commercialization speed of AI is progressing faster than expected six months ago, which also validates AMD's long-term view on AI trends.

Four Mac Studio systems run trillion-parameter models, Apple challenges Nvidia's narrative on inference
Apple's hardware chief pointed out that after enterprises purchase devices outright, there is no need to pay by token, and the cost-effectiveness of local computing power might be superior to long-term rental of cloud GPUs. Goldman Sachs believes that if more inference tasks shift to end devices, Nvidia's share in incremental AI activity may fall short of market expectations. Currently, Nvidia's implied volatility is at its lowest since before the pandemic, and option pricing has almost no risk premium allocated for this narrative change. Therefore, Goldman Sachs recommends buying Nvidia put options and going long on Apple.

Meanwhile, Carney is actively promoting deeper cooperation between Canada and the European Union, covering critical minerals, energy, scientific research, and student exchanges, aiming to reduce dependence on the US and defend national sovereignty. He emphasized that in an era when connectivity can be weaponized, diversified cooperation is a necessary choice for safeguarding sovereignty.
