Data center drives growth

AMD's data center business generated eight point five billion dollars in Q3 2026 quarterly revenue. As of Q3 2026, roughly sixty-three percent of AMD's net quarterly revenue came from data center.

Data center to dominate

CFO Jean Hu said AMD expects its data center business will be more than eighty percent of total company revenue looking ahead to twenty twenty-seven.

Next quarter forecast

AMD is predicting it will hit another record high next quarter of seventeen billion dollars. The company expects its revenue to grow more than eighty percent in twenty twenty-seven.

Gaming revenue collapses

AMD's gaming business dropped forty percent compared to last year, dipping to seven hundred seventy-three million dollars. Component shortages from AI data center demand have driven price hikes across PCs and consoles.

Planning for a down year

Su acknowledged price hikes are affecting consumer markets and said AMD is planning with the current environment for a down year for twenty twenty-seven. Intel said it's not expecting the shortage to improve next year.
