The deal centers on an acquired chip described as fast and inexpensive, while its financing outlook remains unclear for lenders.

MarketWatch reports AMD has made an acquisition tied to low-cost AI chips, positioning the company as it looks to expand in the artificial intelligence hardware space.

According to MarketWatch, the acquired chip is described as fast and inexpensive, but lenders face major uncertainty around financing it.
