CPU revives as AI agents spread, AMD and Intel rebound
Rising adoption of personal AI agents is increasing demand for server CPUs, putting AMD and Intel back in focus. As agents run autonomously for hours or days, some AI infrastructure workloads are expected to shift from GPUs to CPUs. Meta’s Muse and OpenAI’s Dots were shown running on AMD-based systems, though both companies use multiple CPU suppliers. AMD said data centre revenue more than doubled year-on-year in the June-ended quarter.
