What's Going On With AMD Stock Tuesday? - IBM (NYSE:IBM), Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD)
IBM and AMD aim to develop scalable, open-source quantum-centric supercomputing platforms to accelerate breakthroughs in drug discovery, materials science, and optimization, officials said.
- On August 26, 2025, International Business Machines Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. announced a collaboration to develop quantum-centric supercomputing that combines quantum and classical systems.
- Motivated by technical need and market forecasts, the partnership targets drug discovery, materials science, optimization and logistics, aiming to build scalable, open-source platforms and explore ecosystems like Qiskit, companies said.
- Engineers aim to integrate AMD CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs with IBM quantum systems and plan an initial demonstration later this year to showcase hybrid quantum-classical workflows.
- Investors drove AMD shares higher to $167.33 premarket Tuesday while IBM rose more modestly, adding to competition as established tech giants and startups intensify quantum efforts.
- Looking farther ahead, analysts note the companies said their work could accelerate fault-tolerant quantum computers by decade's end, with McKinsey projecting the sector could reach $97 billion by 2035 and governments pledging more than $10 billion for 2025.

IBM Joins Forces With AMD to Develop 'Quantum-Centric Supercomputers'
Seventy-two years ago, in 1953, IBM introduced the 650 Magnetic Drum Data Processing Machine, the world’s first mass-produced computer. The CPU, power unit and card reader weighed well over 4,000 pounds and could manage payrolls, perform statistical analyses and handle engineering design calculations, all things a 2.7-pound MacBook Air can handle in 2025. On Tuesday, the elder statesman of America’s tech giants announced it will partner with sem…
IBM And AMD Tag Team On Hybrid Classical-Quantum Supercomputers
As we talked about a decade ago in the wake of launching The Next Platform, quantum computers – at least the fault tolerant ones being built by IBM, Google, Rigetti, and a few others – need a massive amount of traditional Von Neumann compute to help maintain their state, assist with qubit error correction, and assist with their computations. … IBM And AMD Tag Team On Hybrid Classical-Quantum Supercomputers was written by Timothy Prickett Morgan …
IBM and AMD Partner to Advance Quantum Supercomputing
IBM and AMD have announced a partnership to develop new computing systems that merge quantum computers, high-performance computing, and AI accelerators. The collaboration aims to create scalable open-source platforms for what the companies describe as “quantum-centric supercomputing.” The effort will combine IBM’s work on quantum computers with AMD’s leadership in high-performance and AI technologies. “As we partner with IBM to explore the conv…
