  • Server Forecast Increasing; Computex Sparks PC Refresh
    Semiconductors: Processors & Components INDUSTRY UPDATE May 28, 2019 Server Forecast Increasing; Computex Sparks PC Refresh Summary While the data center and server markets have been in the doldrums, IDC has recently increased its server spending forecast. We remain optimistic that AMD's EPYC CPU shipments can benefit the most of companies in our coverage universe for this expected upside due to market share gains. Increasing server shipments should help balance the memory supply/demand ratio. Also, in this note, we highlight process announcements from AMD, Intel and Nvidia. In our view, AMD's PC CPU and GPU product announcements clearly show that AMD is poised to take PC market share. Computex 2019 may be the most significant PC trade show in years sparking new interest in PCs. Key Points • Earlier in May, IDC released its updated server spending forecast. The forecast increased the total spending expectations for each year, compared to previous expectations, although growth is now expected to be negative in 2019 due to significantly higher than expected revenue in 2018. IDC is forecasting total 2019 spending of $90.4bn (down 3.3% y/y) compared to the previous forecast of $77.8bn (up 3.2% y/y). We believe, based on commentary from suppliers such as Nvidia (NVDA, Hold, $145.25) and Intel (INTC, Hold, $43.64), that growth in 2018 was driven in part by customers buying excess equipment, particularly Chinese customers due to trade concerns, in our view. As a result, we expect continued product digestion in 1H2019. • We believe AMD (AMD, Buy, $29.40) is becoming more competitive with its latest CPU and GPU data center offerings.
