Nvidia CEO Surprised by AMD's Deal Giving OpenAI a 10% Stake

OpenAI's multibillion-dollar deal includes purchasing 6 gigawatts of AMD AI chips and an option to acquire 10% of AMD, intensifying competition with Nvidia in the AI chip market.

  • Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told CNBC's Squawk Box on Oct. 8th, 2025 that he was surprised Advanced Micro Devices offered 10% of the company to OpenAI.
  • On Monday, OpenAI and AMD agreed to terms that include OpenAI purchasing 6 gigawatts of AMD chips, including the Instinct MI450, and receiving warrants for 160 million AMD shares.
  • Investor response was immediate as AMD stock jumped 38% on Monday and the company reached a $380 billion market cap, following Nvidia's up-to-$100 billion collaboration with OpenAI late last month.
  • Asked about funding, Huang said OpenAI lacks money now and must raise capital through revenues, equity or debt, while Nvidia is set to invest $2 billion.
  • The deal positions Advanced Micro Devices as a stronger rival to Nvidia, challenging its dominance and narrowing the gap for AI compute providers with the Instinct MI450.
