## Key points

- AMD posted record quarterly revenue of $13.4 billion.
- Data centre sales nearly doubled to $8.5 billion.
- Gaming revenue fell 40 per cent to $773 million.

## Summary

AMD reported record third-quarter revenue of $13.4 billion, up 45 per cent year on year, as its data centre business nearly doubled. The results show how strongly growth is being driven by demand for server processors and AI hardware, while gaming revenue fell sharply.

Data centre revenue rose 97 per cent to $8.5 billion, and operating income in the segment increased 168 per cent to $2.88 billion. Gaming revenue dropped 40 per cent to $773 million, which AMD attributed mainly to lower console-chip sales; its results do not separate those sales from Radeon graphics. AMD forecast about $17 billion in fourth-quarter revenue, up 66 per cent year on year, and said major customers had brought their first Helios AI racks online.
