AMD's stock dipped on Thursday after it accidentally leaked the source code for its machine learning-based upscaler FSR 4 on GitHub. The leak implies that FSR 4 was made with the ability to work on older graphics cards, potentially expanding its user base. However, the pressure on AMD to add support for older graphics cards may negatively impact its relationship with consumers. The company's shares have rallied 35.5% year-to-date and have an average price target of $183.45, representing a 12.19% upside.
Title: AMD Stock Dips on FSR 4 Source Code LeakAdvanced Micro Devices (AMD) experienced a dip in its stock on Thursday following the accidental leak of the source code for its machine learning-based upscaler, FSR 4, on GitHub. The leak revealed that FSR 4 includes libraries for INT8 shaders, indicating that it could potentially support older graphics cards, thereby expanding its user base [2].
The incident occurred when AMD intended to post the normal SDK of FSR 4 but mistakenly uploaded the source code instead. The company quickly corrected the error by updating the GitHub page. Despite this, some users downloaded the source code and began analyzing it, which could put pressure on AMD to support older graphics cards [2].
The leak has raised concerns about AMD's relationship with consumers, who might now expect the company to add FSR 4 support to older graphics cards. While the stock dipped, it remains up 35.5% year-to-date and has rallied 8.9% over the past 12 months, driven by the AI boom [2].
Analysts have a moderate buy rating for AMD, with an average price target of $183.45, representing a potential 12.19% upside [2]. The stock movement reflects the market's cautious optimism about AMD's future in the AI and machine learning space.
