Lisa Su: MI450 customer forecasts now exceeding initial 2027 plans with significant ramp Q4 2026 into 2027, broader customer base beyond Meta/OpenAI engaging on multi-gigawatt deployments
Lisa Su· AMD· AI· 2026-05-06· about AMD (AMD)
“With this expanded visibility, we have strong and increasing confidence in our ability to deliver tens of billions of dollars in annual Data Center AI revenue in 2027... lead customer forecasts now exceeding our initial plans and a growing number of new customers engaging on large-scale deployments, including additional multi-gigawatt opportunities.”
Why it matters
MI450 demand expanding beyond two flagship customers (Meta, OpenAI) indicates broader industry adoption and reduces customer concentration risk for AMD. 'Tens of billions' in annual revenue by 2027 suggests multi-year supply chain strain for HBM, packaging, and power infrastructure.
Investment implication
HBM suppliers and advanced packaging vendors should expect sustained high utilization through 2027-2028. Power infrastructure companies and datacenter real estate providers should model for accelerated buildout timelines. Competition for wafer allocation will intensify.
