AMD stock gained in March 2026 despite a broader market downturn. Investors attribute this resilience to the company's strong position in the artificial intelligence chip sector.
AMD plans to launch its MI450 graphics processing units in the second half of 2026. These chips will power the integrated Helios data center rack system. The Helios system offers 50% more memory capacity than Nvidia’s upcoming Vera Rubin GPU system.
Meta Platforms and OpenAI will be among the first customers to receive MI450 chips. In the consumer segment, the flagship Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 CPU has appeared in preliminary retail listings. AMD expects to launch this new processor later in April 2026.
