AMD Today: 2nm ‘Venice’ CPUs & MI400 AI Accelerators Confirmed for 2026 as Shares Flicker Ahead of Nov. 11 Analyst Day

by
7 November 2025

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD) headlines today with fresh confirmation that its next big data‑center leap—2nm “Epyc Venice” CPUs and Instinct MI400 accelerators—is slated for 2026, while investors count down to AMD’s Financial Analyst Day on Tuesday, November 11. The stock softened intraday as markets digested this week’s record Q3 print and looked for the next catalyst (see live chart above). [1]

Key takeaways (Nov. 7, 2025)

  • Roadmap clarity today: AMD reiterated that 2nm Epyc “Venice” and Instinct MI400 will arrive in 2026, framing the next phase of its data‑center AI push. [2]
  • Analyst Day in four days: The company will outline multi‑year product and financial roadmaps on Nov. 11 in New York (webcast available), a likely near‑term stock driver. [3]
  • Street chatter today: Fresh previews flag AI roadmap details as the focus for next week; one note shows a minor EPS‑estimate trim while maintaining a bullish rating. [4]
  • Competitive watch: Industry coverage highlights that a potential Intel–NVIDIA collaboration could intensify competition; AMD flagged competitive dynamics in filings, reports say. [5]

What’s new today

Venice & MI400 timing lands (again) on 2026. In coverage published this morning, AMD’s Lisa Su is cited reaffirming that 2nm Epyc “Venice” CPUs and Instinct MI400 accelerators ship in 2026—the pair that will underpin AMD’s next large step in AI and high‑performance computing. Today’s notes line up with statements made on this week’s earnings call. [6]

Analyst day spotlight grows. Previews circulating today emphasize Nov. 11 as the moment AMD will update long‑term strategy and product roadmaps. Expect investors to hone in on the data‑center AI trajectory (Instinct MI3xx → MI4xx), software progress (ROCm), and any color on server CPU cadence. AMD’s IR calendar shows the event starts 1:00 p.m. ET with a webcast. [7]

Street fine‑tuning. A new blurb shows Cantor Fitzgerald trimming its FY2025 EPS estimate slightly while keeping an Overweight rating—illustrating a broader theme: most analysts remain constructive but want more granularity on the 2026 AI ramp. [8]

Competitive overhang in headlines. TrendForce today reprises reporting that an Intel–NVIDIA partnership could raise competitive pressure for AMD across PC and data center; the report references AMD risk disclosures and third‑party coverage. It’s a narrative to watch, especially as AMD pitches full rack‑scale systems. [9]

This week in context: AMD beat, raised—and set up 2026

On Tuesday (Nov. 4) AMD posted record Q3 revenue of $9.2B (+36% YoY) with non‑GAAP EPS of $1.20 and data‑center revenue of $4.3B, then guided Q4 above consensus. Management also said the AI business is “entering its next phase of growth,” while reiterating Venice (2nm) and MI400 are on track for 2026. The stock cooled as investors looked past the near‑term raise to the magnitude/timing of next year’s AI inflection. [10]

What the 2026 platform actually looks like

Beyond timing, AMD has started sketching tangible platform details:

  • Helios rack‑scale AI systems. AMD’s new Helios design packages Epyc CPUs, Instinct GPUs, and networking into an open rack aligned with Meta’s Open Rack Wide standard—targeted squarely at large‑scale AI training/inference. [11]
  • Memory & bandwidth at rack scale. In October, AMD described Helios with 72 next‑gen Instinct GPUs delivering 31TB of HBM4 and 1.4 PB/s aggregate bandwidth, signaling a capacity‑first strategy for frontier models. (These Helios performance/memory figures are AMD’s own.) [12]
  • Hyperscaler interest and customers. Coverage this week also notes growing traction with hyperscalers ahead of MI400/Helios availability. [13]

Competitive landscape & risks

  • Intel–NVIDIA tie‑up reporting. If realized, a joint PC/data‑center chip effort by Intel and NVIDIA would be a fresh axis of competition; industry write‑ups today say AMD flagged the potential risk in filings. We’ll be watching to see if AMD addresses this head‑on at Analyst Day. [14]
  • Legal watch. On Nov. 3, Adeia sued AMD, alleging infringement of patents tied to manufacturing methods (including those used in 3D V‑Cache devices). AMD hasn’t publicly commented; any legal overhang bears monitoring but is too early to handicap. [15]

What to watch on Nov. 11

  1. Granular AI targets. Any multi‑year revenue/ship targets for DC GPU (MI350 → MI400) and Helios wins.
  2. CPU cadence. Firmed timelines/features for Zen 6 “Venice” and clues on platform counts/core density.
  3. Ecosystem & software. ROCm progress, frameworks, and inference optimizations at scale.
  4. Capital needs & supply. Packaging, HBM, and system integration capacity into 2026.
    (AMD’s event info and webcast details are on its IR site.) [16]

Bottom line

AMD enters Analyst Day with record results in hand, 2026 catalysts locked in, and a credible rack‑scale AI story. The next leg likely hinges on how convincingly AMD translates that roadmap into near‑term deployments and MI4xx/Helios bookings—and how it answers intensifying competition from both NVIDIA and a resurgent Intel.

  • Barclays Boosts Target on Great-West Lifeco as Upgrades Pile Up
    November 7, 2025, 7:36 PM EST. Barclays raised its target on Great-West Lifeco (GWO) to C$59.00 from C$58.00, signaling a potential downside of about 2.72% from the latest price.

  • Braze (BRZE) Valuation in Focus as 90-Day Upturn Sparks Investor Optimism
    November 7, 2025, 7:34 PM EST. Braze (BRZE) has drawn renewed investor attention after a 90-day return of 7.6%, though it remains down about 37% year-to-date. The stock's broader picture is mixed: a favorable narrative pins a fair value around $45.11, implying it's undervalued as execution gains momentum, while a separate DCF model tracks a closer fair value of about $25.59, suggesting limited upside versus broader multiples. Key catalysts include the acquisition of OfferFit to bolster AI-driven optimization, potential revenue growth from deal size expansion, and margins that could improve with integration. Risks loom from integration delays and evolving data regulations that could temper margin and growth goals. Overall, investors are weighing whether the optimism is justified by fundamentals or priced-in expectations.
  • Victoria's Secret VSCO Valuation After 28% Rally: Is the Stock Overvalued or Undervalued?
    November 7, 2025, 7:32 PM EST. Victoria's Secret (VSCO) has surged about 28% in the past month as investors weigh the brand's transformation against retail headwinds. The stock sits near recent highs, around $36.32, sparking a debate over fair value. One narrative pins fair value at $29, implying the shares are overvalued at today's price. A contrasting view from the SWS DCF model argues the name trades roughly 21% below its estimated fair value, suggesting upside. Key risks include tariff pressures and reliance on brick-and-mortar stores, which could temper long-term earnings growth. The core question: is the market already pricing in the optimistic 18-44 customer momentum and ongoing transformation, or is there room for a pullback that unlocks value for patient investors?
