The missing piece? Software.

ROCm isn’t CUDA. But it’s catching up. Fast.

Bi-weekly updates. 2M+ Hugging Face models supported.

LLaMA 4, Gemma, DeepSeek — all Day-0.

This used to be AMD’s moat problem. Less so now.

Acquisition of ZT Systems plugs the final gap:

Full rack-scale systems — CPUs + GPUs + networking.

Think Nvidia DGX competitor — but modular.

ZT gives AMD the vertical muscle to sell full AI infrastructure to hyperscalers.

What matters:

→ Turin is already delivering

→ MI325X is ramping

→ MI350 is sampling

→ ROCm is working

→ ZT is the enabler

This is no longer “wait for next gen.”

They’re in market. And in motion.

Still early. Nvidia’s CUDA + Blackwell + market capture is real.

But AMD isn’t just playing catch-up.

They’re building something that fits the post-monopoly stack.
