AMD generated record second-quarter revenue as demand for AI infrastructure and server chips more than offset weaker sales from its gaming business.
Good to Know
Data center products supplied 58% of AMD revenue during Q2 2026, underlining how far the company has moved beyond its older gaming and consumer PC identity.
Sales from the division more than doubled from one year earlier to $6.7 billion. AMD credited demand for EPYC server processors and Instinct AI accelerators.
“We delivered an excellent quarter, with record revenue and profitability as Data Center revenue more than doubled year-over-year,” AMD CEO Lisa Su said.
Total revenue reached $11.54 billion, above $7.69 billion in Q2 2025. Net income climbed 163% to $2.3 billion, while adjusted earnings reached $1.66 per share.
AMD expects the trend to continue. Its Q3 forecast calls for about $13 billion in revenue, plus or minus $300 million, with a 56% adjusted gross margin.
Gaming revenue went in the opposite direction, falling from about $1.1 billion to $779 million. AMD linked the decline to lower semi-custom revenue, which includes processors designed for consoles.
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles both use AMD technology, but mature hardware cycles generally produce lower chip orders as manufacturers reduce production volumes. AMD did not blame graphics card demand or higher component prices for the Q2 decline.
Meanwhile, Ryzen processors kept the consumer business growing. Client revenue rose 23% to $3.1 billion after processor shipments increased 29%, although average selling prices fell 3%.
Combined client and gaming revenue reached $3.8 billion, up 6%. Embedded revenue also increased 19% to $977 million.
AMD continues to release gaming products, including Ryzen processors and Radeon graphics cards, but AI accelerators, server CPUs and rack-scale systems now produce the larger financial opportunity.
