AMD branding <\/p>\n
(Bloomberg) — Advanced Micro Devices Inc., Nvidia Corp.\u2019s nearest rival in AI processors, said Oracle Corp. will deploy a large batch of its forthcoming MI450 chips next year.<\/p>\n
Oracle will put 50,000 of the semiconductors in data center computers starting in the third quarter of 2026, according to a statement Tuesday. The systems will contain AMD processors and networking components.<\/p>\n

The announcement is the latest in a frenzy of commitments by big tech and AI companies to build more computing infrastructure. They\u2019re all racing to meet demand for AI services that they say is skyrocketing.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also another endorsement of AMD technology. The Santa Clara, California-based company is working to become a credible alternative to Nvidia, the dominant provider of AI processors. Shares of the chipmaker rose 1.4% at 9:46 a.m. in New York, while Oracle\u2019s stock fell 4.1%.<\/p>\n
Like its much larger rival, AMD offers so-called AI accelerators \u2014 based on graphics processing units \u2014 as well as general-purpose processors and some networking chips. It\u2019s now trying to up its game further and match Nvidia\u2019s ability to provide data center owners with complete computers.<\/p>\n
In the second quarter, AMD shipped about 100,000 AI processors, according to research firm IDC. Nvidia delivered 1.5 million in the same period.<\/p>\n
Oracle and AMD didn\u2019t specify when they expect to complete the installation, but they see it expanding in 2027 \u201cand beyond.\u201d The companies also didn\u2019t say how much of AMD\u2019s total supply would be claimed by Oracle.<\/p>\n
The Oracle announcement follows an AMD deal with OpenAI, the AI startup that has clinched computing agreements with a number of chipmakers. In that longer-term partnership, OpenAI is slated to buy 6 gigawatts\u2019 worth of computers featuring AMD accelerators over multiple years.<\/p>\n
On Monday, OpenAI also announced an agreement with chipmaker Broadcom Inc. That deal is meant to add 10 gigawatts of capacity.<\/p>\n
