The processors will be deployed within the Nokia Cloud Platform, a key component that supports containerized workloads foundational to 5G Core, edge, and enterprise applications. By integrating the AMD EPYC 9005 Series processors into the Nokia Cloud Platform, Nokia will deliver impressive performance per watt.
AMD stock is down over 24% in the last 12 months as it grappled with intensifying competition with Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) with additional headwinds from the Trump administration’s tariff policies.
Bank of America Securities analyst Vivek Arya expressed optimism across computing and networking for GPU (Nvidia and AMD) and ASIC (Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL)) vendors after attending a tech conference on Monday. Nvidia remains best positioned to benefit from the ongoing AI tide, supported by a multi-year lead in performance (AI scaling), pipeline, incumbency, scale, and developer support, Arya noted.
The analyst said that AMD continues to see strong sell-through in the second quarter, aided by higher-ASP new products, and could even see seasonal second-half strength.
Price Action: AMD stock is trading higher by 0.14% to $121.90 premarket at last check Tuesday.
