Semiconductor research firm SemiAnalysis analyzed that AMD’s warrant deals with OpenAI and Meta are essentially rebates on compute pricing, not merely equity incentives.

This structure indicates that AMD is employing an aggressive pricing strategy to compete with NVIDIA for market share in AI training.
