Why it matters

As autonomous agents move into production workloads, the infrastructure demand is shifting from GPU-centric to hybrid GPU+CPU architectures. This reshapes capex priorities and vendor positioning across hyperscalers.

The key facts

4 to know
  1. Agentic AI workloads driving demand for both GPUs and high-core-count CPUs

  2. Cloud economics being 'rewritten in real time' due to agent production deployments

  3. AMD targeting surging CPU demand as hyperscalers and enterprises shift infrastructure strategies

  4. Hyperscalers, neoclouds, and enterprises all rearchitecting infrastructure for agentic workloads
