AMD has officially joined the $1 trillion market cap elite, following a record-setting rally driven by its expansion into full AI systems. With Intel and other semiconductor peers posting strong gains, AMD now stands as the fourth US chipmaker to reach this valuation, outperforming the broader tech market despite a slightly lower growth rate than its predecessor, Nvidia.

  • The Korea Times confirms AMD has officially entered the $1 trillion club, becoming the fourth US chipmaker to achieve this milestone behind Nvidia, Broadcom, and Micron. The report highlights that the company is expanding its business model to sell complete AI systems rather than just individual chips, while trading at a forward earnings multiple of 41x.

The article notes that while AMD sits just below the trillion-dollar threshold, it trails significantly behind giants like Nvidia and Apple, yet remains ahead of peers like Micron.
