AMDAI领域潜力可能比之前预期要“高出数倍”
uSMART盈立智投 05-15 19:55

根据Jon Peddie Research的数据,AMD(AMD.US)和英伟达(NVDA.US)是GPU领域最大的两家半导体公司,其中英伟达几乎垄断了大约85%的市场份额。但摩根士丹利(简称“大摩”)表示,随着AMD继续在游戏和人工智能领域逆风前行,该公司的机会可能比最初想象的要大得多。

据大摩分析师Joseph Moore在最近的一份报告中表示,尽管AMD在人工智能领域历来有“错误的开端”,但其即将推出的MI300报价偏高、再加上近来供应链的评价,都暗示其中潜藏的机会比之前预期“高出数倍”。

此外,Moore指出,大摩原本保守估计2024年AMD的AI相关营收将达1亿美元,高层的说法也很谨慎,但正在形成的潜在机会明显更大。Moore如今相信,AMD在2024年的AI相关营收将达4亿美元,若一切顺利,最高有机会上看12亿美元。

Moore补充称,虽然近期的增长可能是“爆炸性的”,但Lisa Su博士领导的公司也来自市场之外,这使其进一步与英伟达竞争。

据了解,AMD首席执行官Lisa Su在5月2日刚在财报电话会议表示,AMD成长可在下半年回归正轨,人工智慧是未来扩大市场的关键之一,并表示:“AI还在萌芽期,需要的运算效能将大增,超微具备良好优势、能抓住机会。”

值得注意的是,AMD可能会在进一步推进人工智能的过程中获得外部帮助。

据报道,微软(MSFT.US)正在与AMD合作开发人工智能处理器,不过微软的发言人否认AMD参与了微软自己的代号为Athena的人工智能处理器的开发。

Moore还指出,客户之前一直对AMD的数据中心GPU很感兴趣,但鉴于英伟达的巨大地位,这家总部位于加州圣克拉拉(Santa Clara)的公司很可能会做出“积极”反应,以捍卫自己的地盘。

此外,Moore认为AMD即将推出的MI300芯片将比英伟达的A100(售价约为9,000美元)有“显著”折扣,但事实可能并非如此。初步迹象显示,该卡的平均售价可能在1万美元左右。

相反,英伟达最新的人工智能芯片H100在2022年以3.65万美元的价格上市,由于需求旺盛,最近在eBay和其他第三方平台上的售价超过了4万美元。

Moore还指出,AMD已经使MI300(售价高达5000美元)在该价格的推理应用中具有“竞争力”,该公司正在为客户进行少量定制芯片。

最后,AMD在训练大型语言模型方面可能也有更大的机会,鉴于OpenAI的ChatGPT和谷歌的Bard最近备受关注,这是一个热门话题。大型语言模型可以用CPU进行训练(如果对结果没有紧迫性或低延迟应用程序),但如果有延迟要求,则需要GPU。Moore认为,AMD在这一领域的机会“比我们最初的预期更切实、更持久”。

英伟达在首席执行官黄仁勋的领导下,可能仍会积极捍卫自己在这些领域的地位,但Moore补充称,AMD看到了来自这些客户的“稳定”订单,而且与前几代相比,赢得的“实实在在”。

对于AMD来说,下一步可能是下个月推出其云服务器CPU,但Moore补充称,该公司可能会在发布会上概述其人工智能战略。MI300预计将于今年第四季度推出,但鉴于该股今年以来的大幅上涨(年初至今为51%),投资者预计AMD在正式发布之前会有强劲的业绩。
