As the artificial intelligence boom shifts from cloud servers to edge devices, investors must decide which chip titan offers better value: Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) or Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM)?
Advanced Micro Devices has transformed itself from a secondary CPU maker into a powerhouse in data center GPUs and high-performance computing. Meanwhile, Qualcomm is leveraging its dominance in smartphone connectivity to expand into automotive systems and on-device AI. Both companies are vying for leadership in a rapidly evolving hardware landscape.
Advanced Micro Devices develops high-performance computing products for cloud infrastructure and gaming consoles. In its latest annual report, filed for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025, the company highlighted a partnership with OpenAI and supply agreements with Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). This customer concentration adds risk even as the firm expands among semiconductor stocks while integrating its new ZT Systems acquisition.
In FY 2025, revenue reached nearly $34.6 billion, representing a significant growth of roughly 34.3% compared to the previous year. The company reported net income of approximately $4.3 billion and a net margin of roughly 12.5%. This trend suggests strong demand for its AI-focused hardware and server processors, which have become the primary engines of its financial performance as it gains market share.
