Advanced Micro Devices Inc. Chief Executive Officer Lisa Su said her company’s latest AI processors can challenge Nvidia Corp. chips in a market she now expects to soar past $500 billion in the next three years.

The new installments in AMD’s MI350 chip series are faster than Nvidia counterparts and represent major gains over earlier versions, Su said at a company eventBloomberg Terminal Thursday in San Jose, California. The MI355 chips, which started shipping earlier this month, are 35 times faster than predecessors, she said.
