AMD
Advanced Micro Devices designs a variety of digital semiconductors for markets such as PCs, gaming consoles, data centers (including artificial intelligence), industrial, and automotive applications. AMD's traditional strength was in central processing units and graphics processing units used in PCs and data centers. However, AMD is emerging as a prominent player in AI GPUs and related hardware. Additionally, the firm supplies the chips found in prominent game consoles such as the Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox.www.amd.com

Chinese President Xi Jinping wraps up his three-day state visit to Washington with a trip to the National Archives later today.
Karen MoscowHOST
Xi attended a state dinner last night that included some of the biggest names in tech and AI, names like NVIDIA's Jensen Huang, Sam Altman of OpenAI, and top executives from Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Advanced Micro Devices.
Karen MoscowHOST
This is after Xi and President Trump met behind closed doors for ninety minutes.
Karen MoscowHOST
Terry Haynes of Pangea Policy said there were some market-positive results from Xi's visit to the US.
Karen MoscowHOST
And Bloomberg's Rebecca Choong Wilkins reports some of the biggest names in tech and AI attended the state dinner.
Karen MoscowHOST
They include Nvidia's Jensen Huang, Sam Altman of OpenAI, and top executives from Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Advanced Micro Devices.
Karen MoscowHOST
President Xi did not bring a Chinese business delegation.
Karen MoscowHOST
Geopolitics also came up in the leaders' meetings before the dinner, including a red line issue for President Xi.
Rich McDonaldHOST
And of course, the early signs were they got it right.
Rich McDonaldHOST
The reason that moved ARM, AMD, and Intel so much is that when you're talking about agentic AI, that's not GPUs.
Rich McDonaldHOST
Agentic AI is everything that we've got in front of us And your robot will be on your CPU in front of you.
Rich McDonaldHOST
So that's why those chips just took off.
Rich McDonaldHOST
I mean, that's AMD new all-time highs this week.
Rich McDonaldHOST
It also means that memory will be in those CPUs as well.
Rich McDonaldHOST
So there's a great need for memory.
Andy MokGUEST
One of the things they say is, you know, they've made enormous progress in developing highly competitive large language models, but they also say we could do so much more if we had more access to compute.
Andy MokGUEST
So, in particular, the chips made by NVIDIA, AMD, etc.
Andy MokGUEST
And again, this is also within the power of the Trump administration.
Andy MokGUEST
And they've already taken some steps with NVIDIA.
Bill GundersonHOST
As I look back on the week...
Bill GundersonHOST
AMD became a trillion-dollar company, joined the trillion-dollar club.
Bill GundersonHOST
Meta, obviously, with Muse, exploded above $2 trillion.
Bill GundersonHOST
Elon, or not Elon, but Zuckerberg had a very good week.
Jessica EttingerHOST
Tech titans were at the tables.
Megan CasellaCORRESPONDENT
Now, besides the tech and finance heavyweights that we knew about, other attendees included the leaders of Paramount, Skydance, Pfizer, LVMH, AMD, I could go on, and a few notes on the guest list.
Megan CasellaCORRESPONDENT
Amid all the tech CEOs, there was no one from Anthropic invited, despite all the focus on AI.
Megan CasellaCORRESPONDENT
There were also no Chinese CEOs in attendance, something that had initially been expected.
Megan CasellaCORRESPONDENT
More than 130 guests and at least 27 CEOs, according to the guest list provided by the White House.

Mark HaywardHOST
Story number one.
Mark HaywardHOST
On Monday, a company called AMD became worth $1 trillion for the first time.
Mark HaywardHOST
This isn't the first company to get to $1 trillion.
Mark HaywardHOST
There are currently 15 companies, including AMD now, that are worth that as a value.
Mark HaywardHOST
If you've never heard of AMD, don't worry, I hadn't.
Mark HaywardHOST
Here's what they do.
Mark HaywardHOST
They make computer chips, the tiny components that do the thinking inside of a laptop, a phone, and the huge data centers full of computers that power AI, like ChatGPT.
Mark HaywardHOST
Yesterday, Donald Trump hosted China's President Xi Jinping at the state dinner at the White House after two days of talks about AI, trade, and tariffs.
Kelly ShawHOST
So why take more risk with stocks? For a growing collection of AI stocks, the answer remains growth.
Kelly ShawHOST
Chip makers, including AMD, Marvell, Cerebras, and Intel were up before the open today, while Nvidia and Tesla were also higher.
Kelly ShawHOST
Akamai Technologies jumped more than eighteen percent after announcing an eleven point six billion dollar cloud services agreement with Anthropic.
Kelly ShawHOST
Capital spending on AI is spreading well beyond the handful of semiconductor companies that originally dominated the market.
Chris ReardonHOST
And then as we kind of talked about earlier, This week, we're getting a rally.
Chris ReardonHOST
This past week or two, I should say, we're getting a rally led by AI chips with AMD was up 10%.
Chris ReardonHOST
It finally hit a $1 trillion market cap.
Chris ReardonHOST
So the newest company in that club.
