    AMD drops 7% as SpaceX shifts to Nvidia exclusive AI chip usage

    Question

    AMD drops 7% as SpaceX shifts to Nvidia exclusive AI chip usage

    Direct answer

    Despite reporting a 50% increase in total revenue and a doubling of data center revenue to $6.7 billion, AMD shares faced significant selling pressure. The primary catalyst was Elon Musk's public commitment to Nvidia for SpaceX's AI infrastructure. This development highlights the 'winner-take-most' dynamics in the AI accelerator market, where software ecosystem and hardware reliability often outweigh raw performance-per-dollar metrics.
