Despite increasing its prediction for artificial intelligence chip sales to $5 billion for 2025, Advanced Micro Devices AMD first reported fourthquart

Despite increasing its prediction for artificial intelligence chip sales to $5 billion for 2025, Advanced Micro Devices AMD first reported fourthquarter revenue below expectations.
