AMD jumped sharply to reach a $1 trillion market cap, a win for chip investors and a sign the AI trade is spreading beyond the usual names.

• AMD shot up nearly 10% in a single day to cross $1 trillion.
• Money is rotating into CPU makers like AMD and Intel, not just GPU names.
• The reason: a lot of AI work, especially chatbots, runs efficiently on CPUs.
• Nvidia sees $20 billion in CPU demand next year, adding fuel to the shift.
• Other AI-linked names like Meta are seen as having room to double.

Outlook: The CPU side of the AI trade looks set to keep running as demand forecasts for next year climb.
