Shares of AMD rose almost 5% Thursday, a day after Microsoft's technology chief said the chipmaker is bolstering its position in artificial intelligence, where Nvidia dominates.
For years, Microsoft has offered some AMD GPUs to its Azure cloud customers, in addition to powering some of its computers and its Xbox consoles with AMD chips.
In May, AMD said Microsoft had started offering a cloud networking service to clients, drawing on the chipmaker's Pensando products.
Bloomberg reported in May that AMD was working with Microsoft on a custom AI chip, but Scott declined to say if that's actually happening.
Microsoft's cloud rivals Amazon and Google have developed homegrown silicon.
