AI Infrastructure Investment: Analysts see AMD benefiting from ongoing investments in AI infrastructure.

Continued x86 CPU Share Gains: Analysts expect AMD to continue capturing market share in the x86 CPU market from its competitors.

AI-Driven PC Refresh Cycle: The report anticipates an upcoming PC refresh cycle fueled by the adoption of AI technologies, which could benefit AMD’s processor sales.
