アドバンスト・マイクロ・デバイセズは、AIの先駆者であるフェイフェイ・リー博士が率いる人工知能モデル・研究企業World Labsを、約82億ドル相当の全株式交換取引で買収する正式契約を締結したと発表した。取引は2026年末までの完了が見込まれている。World Labsは、テキストや画像、動画からインタラクティブな3D環境を生成・再構築・シミュレーションする空間知能モデルを専門とし、ロボット学習やシミュレーション向けの技術も開発している。AMDによると、この買収により、推論やロボティクス、シミュレーション、フィジカルAIといった分野で新たなAIワークロードがどのように進化しているかをより深く把握できるようになり、将来のハードウェアやソフトウェア、システムアーキテクチャの設計に役立てることができるという。また、Ryzen AI Embedded X100プロセッサやKria AI Robotics Developer Platformとともに、フィジカルAIおよびロボティクス分野での地位を強化することになる。今回の買収は、個別のチップ販売からフルシステムのAIインフラプロバイダーへの転換を進めるAMDの戦略に合致するもので、InstinctやEPYC、Pensando、ROCmのエコシステム、および最近発表したラックスケールAIプラットフォームHeliosを補完する。AMDによれば、Heliosは同じラック電力で最大15%高い推論スループットを実現し、競合ソリューションと比べて1ドル当たり最大30%多くのトークンを処理できるという。この取引は、2026年第2四半期にAMDのデータセンター部門の売上高が前年同期比107%増の67億ドルに急増する中で発表された。経営陣は、2027年にデータセンター部門の売上高が前年同期比で2倍以上に拡大すると見込んでおり、データセンター向けAIアクセラレータ市場は2030年までに約1兆4000億ドルに達すると推定している。
