AMD CEO Lisa Su Says Server CPU Demand "Far Exceeded" Expectations, Supply Now Tightening

What happened

AMD CEO Lisa Su stated server CPU demand has 'far exceeded' expectations, leading to tightening supply and extended lead times of 8-10 weeks for some orders. This follows Intel's earlier report of reallocating wafer capacity to Xeon due to hyperscaler demand, with delivery times stretching to six months and prices up over 10%. Bullish: The concurrent supply constraints and price increases from both major server CPU vendors signal a clear, immediate shortage pressure.
