AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su says the company's CPU sales have "far exceeded my expectations in terms of demand." That's the good news. The more ambivalent addendum, at least for we mere PC gamers, is that you can probably guess why AMD CPU sales are going gangbusters. Rejoice, because it is of course AI.
"We’re seeing a significant CPU demand, frankly, as a result of the inference demand picking up," Su told investors at the recent Morgan Stanley Conference. Inference, of course, involves the running of AI models and delivering AI services, as opposed to training or building AI models in the first place.
