AMD teams up with OpenAI to challenge Nvidia’s AI chip dominance

AMD is partnering with OpenAI to provide six gigawatts worth of processors for AI data centers, a move that challenges Nvidia’s AI chip market dominance. The five-year agreement aims to help OpenAI bolster its infrastructure to meet growing computational demands for AI applications like ChatGPT, starting with a gigawatt deployment of AMD Instinct MI450 GPUs in the second half of 2026, according to AMD’s press release.

The financials of the deal have not been disclosed, but AMD said it expects the agreement to deliver “tens of billions of dollars in revenue” for the company.

“We are thrilled to partner with OpenAI to deliver AI compute at massive scale,” AMD CEO Lisa Su said in the announcement. “This partnership brings the best of AMD and OpenAI together to create a true win-win enabling the world’s most ambitious AI buildout and advancing the entire AI ecosystem.”
