Imho AMD itself needs to have a theory, which underpins their signing of the deal. For my clueless self, that investors have various theories and we don't know what they are is ok-ish, but that AMD has a theory but keeps it secret yet it gets the result of stock rise... is fishy.
Everyone is going in circles making suppositions and estimations based on who knows what. That can't be healty, can it? There used to be requirements that publicly listed companies act with some level of transparency, and those requirements existed for a reason. I guess. I am certainly no expert in finance.

It's not secret at all. Companies announcing a deal like this usually include some PR material alongside it [1]. In this one, the quote is:
“Our partnership with OpenAI is expected to deliver tens of billions of dollars in revenue for AMD while accelerating OpenAI’s AI infrastructure buildout,” said Jean Hu, EVP, CFO and treasurer, AMD. “This agreement creates significant strategic alignment and shareholder value for both AMD and OpenAI and is expected to be highly accretive to AMD's non-GAAP earnings-per-share.”
"significant strategic alignment", "shareholder value", and "billions of dollars in revenue" are all things that should be expected to move the market cap. The "tens of billions in revenue" would generate upwards of 100 billion in market cap alone, assuming AMD's current multiple.
