AI infrastructure boom pushes AMD, Intel and Arm to new valuation heights
Nvidia still dominates, but AI demand is lifting the rest of the chip market
Bottom line: Demand for AI infrastructure has been reshaping how investors value chipmakers, and recent results from key suppliers have strengthened the view that compute-intensive workloads will continue to grow. The effect has been evident with CPU vendors as of late. AMD's stock traded at $278 on Thursday, putting its market value at about $454 billion. Intel's rally from early March pushed the stock toward $68 and lifted its market cap to just under $340 billion. Arm's shares, meanwhile, traded close to $165, valuing the company at roughly $174 billion.

It's not just memory anymore: AI data centers are taking all the CPUs, too
Expect prices to increase further this year
Ripple effect: Ongoing AI datacenter construction has created shortages of DRAM and NAND that manufacturers say will impact prices for years, but memory isn't the only component that datacenters require. Recent reports indicate that manufacturers are also facing shortages of CPUs that might further increase prices.
