AMD's EPYC Venice To Outpace NVIDIA's Vera CPUs With 6.75M Units by 2027, Morgan Stanley Says, as Zen 6 Eclipses a 5.75M Rival

NVIDIA is going to retain its top position as TSMC's biggest customer in 2027, but AMD EPYC Venice could outpace its Vera CPUs.

Morgan Stanley predicts AMD's EPYC Venice will outpace NVIDIA's Vera CPUs with 6.75 million units by 2027. This forecast is based on the growing demand for advanced packaging in the CPU market, with TSMC being a key player. TSMC's customer list for 2027 shows NVIDIA at the top, but AMD's EPYC Venice is gaining traction. The Zen 6 architecture is expected to eclipse NVIDIA's rival with 5.75 million units.

The potential overtaking of NVIDIA by AMD in the CPU market will directly impact the price of data center equipment, affecting companies that rely on these services. As AMD gains market share, it may lead to increased competition and potentially lower prices for data center operators. This, in turn, could lead to cost savings for businesses that use cloud services. The shift in market share may also influence the development of new technologies.

The competition between AMD and NVIDIA is part of a larger trend in the tech industry, where companies are investing heavily in artificial intelligence and machine learning. The demand for advanced CPUs is driven by the need for faster processing power to support these technologies. Insiders know that the development of new CPU architectures is a key factor in determining market share, and AMD's Zen 6 architecture is seen as a major competitor to NVIDIA's offerings. The history of competition between AMD and NVIDIA dates back to the early 2000s.

In the coming weeks, investors should watch for AMD's quarterly earnings report, which is expected to provide more insight into the company's performance. The report will likely include details on the sales of EPYC Venice and the company's outlook for the future. A key factor to watch is the adoption rate of AMD's new architecture, which will be a major indicator of the company's ability to compete with NVIDIA. Interestingly, Morgan Stanley's forecast also mentions that AMD's market share gain may be driven by the company's strategic partnerships with major cloud providers.
