Agentic AI is expected to significantly increase the demand for CPUs, potentially shifting the CPU-to-GPU ratio from 1:4 to as low as 1:1. Companies like AMD, Arm, and Microsoft are highlighting this trend, noting that AI agents can generate a much higher volume of requests than humans. This increased workload on CPUs, for tasks like orchestration and tool-calling, necessitates scaling not only GPUs but also CPUs, memory, storage, and networking infrastructure to support more complex, multi-step AI operations.
