Agentic AI will create additional CPU market space of $10B-$100B by 2030, potentially driving total global server CPU market well beyond $100B.

Agentic AI will create additional CPU market space of $10B-$100B by 2030, potentially driving total global server CPU market well beyond $100B. | Server CPU market size + Intel/AMD re-rating

Key catalyst: Server CPU market size + Intel/AMD re-rating

Watch events: Intel/AMD server-CPU quarterly revenue; ARM-based server CPU share.

Server CPU market currently ~$45-55B/yr; doubling by 2030 consistent with hyperscaler agentic-rack deployments.
