A trader explains why CPU demand surged unexpectedly in AI markets. The shift from GPU-centric inference to agentic AI workloads changed the CPU-to-GPU ratio from 1:8 for training to approximately 1:1 for agents, as most agentic processing involves CPU-side tool calls and orchestration rather than model inference. By 2026, this demand materialized in real numbers: AMD doubled its server CPU market forecast to $120B by 2030, with EPYC chips sold out and 30+ week lead times, while Intel filled only 40% of backlog.
