Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is a competitor to Nvidia in the data center GPUs market, with a more diversified product line including CPUs and other data center equipment. While AMD is significantly behind Nvidia in terms of revenue and growth in the AI arms race, it has potential as cloud computing providers like Microsoft are showing interest in AMD GPUs. However, Nvidia remains the preferred choice due to its raw performance, making AMD an alternative rather than a top pick. AMD's slightly cheaper valuation compared to Nvidia doesn't justify it as a superior investment at the moment, despite being considered a sleeping giant in AI.

During an event in Keelung, DPP Secretary-General Lin Youchang mentioned that behind the legislative amendment turmoil is the intent to expand power and then seize it, with the opposition camp utilizing a de facto majority in the Legislative Yuan to infringe upon the DPP's executive power, resulting in a cash-strapped government and no achievements, ultimately leading to DPP defeats in the 2026 and 2028 elections.
