Nvidia vs AMD : Which is a Better Buy?
πππIn the great AI arms race of 2025, 2 Titans have drawn their swords - Nvidia $NVIDIA(NVDA)$
AMD: The Challenger's Leap
On October 6, AMD stunned the market with a USD 100 billion multi year partnership with OpenAI. The deal includes :
Deployment of 6 gigawatts of AMD Instinct GPUs, starting with the MI450 series in 2026.
A warrant for up to 160 million AMD shares, potentially giving OpenAI a 10% stake in AMD.
A strategic pivot toward AI inference workloads where AMD's chiplet architecture shines.
This isn't just a deal. It is AMD 's moonshot. A validation moment. A chance to rewrite its legacy in the AI era.
Wall Street responded with a flurry of upgrades :
Morgan Stanley : USD 246 target
Benchmark: USD 270 target
Roth Capital : USD 250 target
Barclays : USD 300 target.
Nvidia : The Architect of AI
Weeks earlier, Nvidia announced its own USD 100 billion investment in OpenAI. This includes :
10 gigawatts of Nvidia powered AI factories
A direct partnership - no middlemen, to build the infrastructure for superintelligence.
Co-optimisation of hardware and model road maps, embedding Nvidia deep into OpenAI 's DNA.
Nvidia isn't just supplying chips. Nvidia is underwriting the future of AI. It is the central bank of AI - manufacturing GPUs, funding dreams and anchoring the ecosystem.
Then Came xAI:
Elon Musk' s xAI, the wildcard secured USD 2 billion from Nvidia as part of a USD 20 billion funding round. The goal? To build "Colossus 2", a supercomputer in Memphis powered by Nvidia's GPUs. The deal is brilliant :
Nvidia's chips are bought by a special purpose vehicle (SPV)
xAI leases them for 5 years.
Wall Street recoups its capital while Nvidia embeds its tech.
It is vertical integration by financial gravity. Nvidia isn't just selling chips. It is shaping the AI economy.
Analysts are bullish on Nvidia :
Cantor Fitzgerald : USD 300 target
Evercore: USD 225 target
Bank of America : USD 225 target
Consensus : USD 211.26 average.
Concluding Thoughts
Nvidia vs AMD : Which is a Better Buy?
The case for Nvidia :
If you seek dominance in AI infrastructure with lower volatility and stronger fundamentals, then Nvidia is a better buy.
The case for AMD :
AMD's MI450 chips will use 2nm node technology, offering better power efficiency and performance than Nvidia's upcoming Rubin chips. This could be a leagfrog moment in AI inference workloads.
The latest deal with OpenAI worth USD 100 billion changed everything. Wall Street sees AMD as a serious contender, not just a follower. Its chiplet architecture and MI Series accelerators are gaining traction. The OpenAI deal may encourage other hyperscalers to adopt AMD solutions.
If Nvidia is the architect of Intelligence, AMD is the underdog with fire.
