Xilinx has been making every effort to strengthen its foothold in the data-center market. In the last few years, the company has launched several Alveo AI accelerator cards, which it claims provide high-performance for data-center applications, including real-time machine learning, video processing, genomics, and data analytics. The performance of Xilinx's AlveoAI accelerators is considered as powerful as NVIDIA's data-center graphic processing units (GPUs). Therefore, the buyout would also provide AMD with enough arsenal to compete with Intel and NVIDIA in data-center market. Markedly, AMD's strength in its second-generation EPYC processors is helping it gain huge market share in the x86 servers' industry. Nevertheless, NVIDIA's acquisition of ARM Holdings might aid the acquirer to provide full stack CPU-GPU offering, which is likely to act as a headwind for AMD.
