Rising Agentic AI Workloads Expected to Boost Demand for CPUs, BofA Says

The rise of agentic artificial intelligence is set to significantly accelerate demand by expanding the role of central processing units, creating opportunities for x86 vendors and ARM-based competitors, BofA Securities said in a note Thursday.The analysts said that, based on their discussions at the BofA Global Technology Conference, they have increased their 2030 estimate for the server CPU total addressable market to more than $170 billion, up from their previous estimate of $125 billion.This forecast implies nearly fivefold growth from current levels and a 37% compound annual growth rate between BofA's 2025 estimate and 2030 estimate, compared with its prior growth estimate of 29% CAGR, the analysts added.The analysts said Intel (INTC) could generate more than $6 in earnings per share by 2030, up from their previous expectation of $3 to $4, although successful execution remains critical. Nvidia (NVDA) remains their top overall semiconductor pick due to its leadership across the entire AI technology stack, including CPUs, GPUs, networking, software, and AI platforms.BofA raised Advanced Micro Devices' (AMD) price target to $560 from $500 and Arm's (ARM) price target to $335 from $245. Intel was double-upgraded to buy and assigned a $135 price target, while Qualcomm (QCOM) remains rated underperform.Price: $114.54, Change: $+7.50, Percent Change: +7.00%

Nvidia's GTC Taipei Announcements Offer Significant Growth Potential, Truist Says

Nvidia's (NVDA) recent product announcements pose significant growth potential for the tech giant that marked its formal entry into the consumer PC processor market, Truist Securities said in a note emailed late Monday.Nvidia disclosed new semiconductor, system and software products at the GTC event in Taipei, Taiwan. The products included RTX Spark, a superchip for Windows laptops and desktops, and DGX Station, the AI deskside supercomputer for professionals.RTX Spark's launch would mark the tech giant's entry into the PC market.Nvidia's shares rallied 6.3% on Monday, and were up 0.4% intraday Tuesday.Nvidia's opportunity extends beyond the traditional central processing unit market where Intel (INTC) and AMD (AMD) compete today, Truist Managing Director William Stein said.Nvidia could capture significant growth in higher-cost graphics processing unit systems that "could be multiples of the client CPU market today," he wrote."We are most intrigued by the company's new DGX Station and RTX Spark computers that appear aimed at developing and running AI models locally without the need for datacenter resources," Stein wrote. "While it opens a significant (total addressable market for Nvidia), we believe the effort is more strategic, and focused on extending (its) reach into all aspects of AI model development, deployment, and processing."Truist reiterated its buy rating on Nvidia's stock with a price target of $307.Price: $225.53, Change: $+1.16, Percent Change: +0.52%

Nvidia Discloses New AI Chip to Power Windows PCs

Nvidia (NVDA) has announced a new artificial intelligence chip to power Microsoft (MSFT) Windows personal computers, called RTX Spark, entering the consumer PC processor market.RTX Spark delivers the full Nvidia AI and graphics technology stack to creators, AI developers and gamers, according to a joint statement on Sunday.RTX Spark will be available this fall from manufacturers including ASUS, Dell (DELL), HP (HPQ), Lenovo, Microsoft Surface and MSI, to be followed by models from Acer and GIGABYTE."The PC is being reinvented," Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang said. "For forty years, you launched apps. Click. Type. With RTX Spark and Microsoft Windows, you ask -- and the PC does the work."These new PCs are designed for the era of personal AI agents, Nvidia said."This marks a key milestone in the rich, full-stack collaboration between Microsoft and Nvidia spanning gaming, AI and cloud -- from DirectX and RTX to Nvidia-accelerated AI workloads on Azure -- driving end-to-end innovation for our shared customers," Pavan Davuluri, executive vice president, Windows + Devices, said in a blogpost on Sunday. "These next-generation Windows PCs represent the next step on that journey."RTX Spark marks Nvidia's formal entry into the consumer PC processor market, Wedbush Securities said in a report on Monday."We believe (Nvidia's) previous work around using (graphics processing units) to enable AI workloads in PCs should benefit (its) push to define the agentic PC," Wedbush analyst Matt Bryson wrote. "But we also wonder how much even a successful implementation might mean for (Nvidia), given the ultimately small size of the PC market (vs. NVDA's accelerator business)."Nvidia's foray into the AI-enhanced consumer PC business could hurt Intel (INTC) in particular, Bryson said.Bryson sees "limited near-term competitive implications" from the Nvidia-Microsoft collaboration.Nvidia said it is collaborating with Adobe (ADBE) to "rearchitect" Adobe Premiere and Photoshop for RTX Spark.Shares of Nvidia were up 5% in Monday trading and Microsoft rose 2.6%. Adobe jumped 5.9%, while Intel fell 3.2%. Dell and HP gained 8.3% each.Price: $221.79, Change: $+10.65, Percent Change: +5.04%
