AMD revenue jumps as it keeps pushing against the AI narrative

2 weeks ago | fierceelectronics.com | Dan O'Shea

Is AMD doing a little better in the AI market race than most people think? The company has been written off as a distant runner-up to Nvidia, particularly where data center AI is concerned, but AMD’s first quarter 2025 earnings report and its second quarter outlook didn’t look much like those of a contender on the wane. Still, tariff uncertainty is lingering over AMD’s future just as it is with all other semiconductor companies.
AI+sensor data=$$ (unless tariffs botch it): Sensors keynoter

2 weeks ago | fierceelectronics.com | Matt Hamblen

As AI proliferates, the edge case for the role of sensors is getting scrutinized by industry experts. Revenue potential already exists for sales of AI hardware—a collection of GPUs and CPUs and assorted accelerators used in hyperscalers. But combining sensors with AI at the edge in industrial and work settings will also produce value beyond the hardware, and ultimately revenue for sensors companies themselves.
Synopsys slides into design enablement role in quantum computing

2 weeks ago | fierceelectronics.com | Dan O'Shea

Bits are not qubits, and quantum computing is not classical computing, but efforts to develop practically useful and commercially viable quantum computers and processors–and manufacture them at scale–have much to gain from traditional semiconductor design and production techniques, like electronic design automation (EDA). That translates to an emerging opportunity for companies like Synopsys, which specializes in EDA tools, circuit design, systems verification, and related offerings.
