Gate Milestones

Growth is gated by milestones. Cost step-changes and capability unlocks are tied to specific milestones.

2026
Y1
mi355x ramp
MI355X full production ramp (CDNA 4)
Unlocks: Fills demand gap until MI450. 20-30% inference advantage vs B200
MI355X ISSCC 2026 benchmarks
2027
Y2
mi450 launch
MI450/Helios production begins Q3 2026
Unlocks: Unlocks OpenAI/Meta 1 GW deployments
AMD CES 2026: MI450 specs, Helios rack, Celestica partnership
2028
Y3
openai 1gw
OpenAI deploys 1 GW MI450 — first binding tranche
Unlocks: Validates AMD as credible #2. Revenue recognition begins
OpenAI 6 GW deal: first 1 GW binding [AMD 8-K Oct 2025]
2030
Y5
epyc 50pct share
EPYC reaches 50% server revenue share
Unlocks: CPU becomes majority vendor. Intel at historic lows
AMD Analyst Day: >50% share target [Nov 2025]
2032
Y7
margin expansion
Non-GAAP margins reach 35% as Xilinx amort. fades
Unlocks: Mix shift to GPU improves gross margin; amortization declining
Xilinx amort. ~$2.3B/yr, declining ~5%/yr
2028
Y3
vera rubin impact
NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 ships H2 2026, closes inference gap
Unlocks: AMD 25-40% cost advantage narrows/eliminated
NVIDIA GTC 2026: 10x inference cost reduction vs Blackwell
2032
Y7
asic squeeze
Custom ASICs capture 40%+ of inference market
Unlocks: AMD squeezed between NVIDIA CUDA moat and ASIC TCO
TrendForce: ASICs 27.8% of AI servers in 2026, rising to 40%
2028
Y3
gpu stall
MI450 fails to win beyond initial binding commitments
Unlocks: OpenAI/Meta exercise only 1 GW each, shift to ASICs
OpenAI 10 GW Broadcom ASIC deal as fallback [TrendForce]
2031
Y6
cpu only reversion
AMD refocuses on EPYC, reduces GPU R&D
Unlocks: GPU becomes niche; EPYC remains competitive against Intel
Intel server at 13-year lows — EPYC has secular tailwind regardless

Market-Implied Probability Reconciliation

Given these scenario EVs, what probability weights would the market need to assign to produce the current market-implied value of $99/share?
