Invest in Stocks Other Than Nvidia: Millionaire-Making Opportunities Await
In the rapidly evolving tech landscape, two companies stand out - Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Uber Technologies. Let's delve into their recent accomplishments and the hurdles they face.
AMD's AI Strategy Yields Results
AMD's MI300 AI chips have been a resounding success, generating over $1 billion in sales in less than two quarters. The company's data center segment, which accounts for half of AMD's revenue, saw a 57% year-over-year growth, with the first quarter of 2025 reporting a revenue of $7.4 billion - a 57% increase from the previous year. The client and gaming segment also experienced a 28% growth, reaching $2.3 billion [1].
However, AMD's AI revenue took a hit in Q2 2025 due to U.S. export restrictions on GPUs to China, causing a loss of approximately $800 million in that quarter [2]. Despite this setback, AMD is aiming to challenge NVIDIA's dominance with its open-ecosystem-driven, cost-competitive AI strategy and improvements in its AI hardware portfolio.
NVIDIA's Dominance Remains Intact
NVIDIA, with a market capitalization of $4.2 trillion, remains the dominant leader in the AI data center market. The company benefits from its massive installed customer base, broad software ecosystem, and strong momentum in AI and data center growth [1]. However, AMD's emergence as the clear No. 2 player could potentially erode NVIDIA's dominance.
Uber's Ride-Hailing and Delivery Success
Uber Technologies, a significant player in the mobility and delivery platform space, holds a 76% share of the U.S. ride-hailing market, with Lyft in second place at 24%. Uber Eats, too, has a 23% share of the meal-delivery market, making it a significant revenue driver. In Q1 2025, Uber reported a net income of $1.8 billion and revenue increasing by 14% to $11.5 billion, with delivery revenue up 18% to $3.8 billion, accounting for about a third of total sales [1][3][4].
Uber has also ventured into robotaxis, a move that could drastically cut costs and reduce driver needs. The company has been a longtime partner of Sony and Microsoft for custom central processing units (CPUs) and GPUs for their PlayStation and Xbox consoles, respectively [5].
A Potential for Sizable Returns
Both AMD and Uber are tech stocks with the potential to deliver sizable returns. However, due to the significant differences in their market dynamics, a direct comparison regarding growth potential or performance cannot be made from the available data.

Investing in Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) might yield significant returns, as their AI strategy has generated over $1 billion in sales and their data center segment saw a 57% year-over-year growth.
On the other hand, Uber Technologies, with its dominance in ride-hailing and delivery services, presents an opportunity for money growth, particularly with its expansion into the robotaxis market.
