With token generation accelerated, CPUs become the bottleneck, driving unprecedented CPU growth over the next 5-10 years, and AMD's server CPUs have best-in-world interconnect, cache, and multiprocessing versus ARM. The author sees AMD stock reaching 600 by end of year, with Intel catching up via US government help as the main headwind.", "thesis_short": "AMD Taalas deal makes CPUs the AI bottleneck", "quote": "AMD just acquired Taalas bringing a 100x improvement in token generation speed.
