Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya gave AMD a "buy" rating and Intel an "underperform" rating.Analysts say that despite troubles in the personal computer and data center sectors, AMD may outperform Intel later this year as it launches new products, including Genoa server CPUs.

Analysts stated, "Given AMD's significant engagement with cloud computing vendors, who are expected to increase their investment in CPUs/accelerators amidst the AI boom, we believe AMD is in a better position overall. Its 5nm Genoa server CPUs also offer process node advantages and better multithreading performance."

The market currently generally expects AMD to report revenue of $5.31 billion and earnings per share of $0.56 in the first quarter of this year. Meanwhile, the market generally expected Intel's first-quarter sales to be $11.22 billion, but a loss of $0.14 per share.

Analysts added that although Intel's stock price has risen sharply in the past few trading days (partly due to its portfolio in AI), the company's server market share may continue to lose to AMD until at least 2025. Ahead of Intel's first-quarter results, analysts lowered their 2023 earnings forecasts, cutting sales and earnings per share expectations by 6% and 38%, respectively.
