TL;DR · WeSearch summary

But AMD did catch and then pass Intel, and there is no law of physics that says AMD cannot catch and beat Nvidia. Incumbents, and especially monopolistic ones, have a tendency to eventually choose a holding maneuver rather than a frontal assault. So, yes, it takes AMD until late 2026 to draw even with Nvidia “Oberon” rackscale systems with the “Helios” rackscale designs that it created in conjunction with Meta Platforms and Microsoft.
