Prediction: This Artificial Intelligence (AI) Semiconductor Stock Will Outperform Nvidia Over the Next 3 Years
AMD looks poised to outperform Nvidia over the next three years.
Overview
When it comes to artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor stocks, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is the gold standard, and there is still a lot to like about the stock. It remains the dominant chip company for AI model training, and that is unlikely to change. Most early foundational AI code was written using its CUDA software platform and optimized for its graphics processing units (GPUs), creating a wide moat in this arena.
Meanwhile, Nvidia hasn't rested on its laurels. The company is a huge player in data center networking, which has formed the base for it to become a complete AI infrastructure player offering end-to-end rack-scale solutions designed for specific AI tasks. The company also created its own custom Arm-based central processing units (CPUs), which will serve it well as the rise of agentic AI drives servers focused on AI agents to contain more CPUs.
Details
Nvidia has also positioned itself well for the inference market through its "acquisition" of Groq and its language processing units (LPUs). LPUs contain a small amount of SRAM (static random-access memory) and are strung together to help reduce latency and speed up inference speeds. For systems designed for inference, Nvidia will combine its GPUs, which will handle the compute-heavy pre-fill phase of processing a prompt, with LPUs, which will provide low latency for the decode phase of generating a response.
