AMD Q3 2026 revenue hits $13.4B as data center sales jump 97% on MI450 GPU launch
AMD reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $13.4 billion, with its data center segment hitting a record $8.5 billion, up 97% year over year, on strong EPYC processor sales and the launch of its Instinct MI450 Series GPUs. Gaming revenue fell 40%, and AMD guided fourth-quarter revenue to about $17 billion, plus or minus 3%. My take: money doesn't lie, and right now it's all flowing into AI data centers, leaving even gaming chips behind. Businesses shouldn't only watch their AI software subscriptions, because the compute costs behind them will show up on the bill sooner or later, so budget for AI properly now.
