AMD beats Q3 estimates on data center AI chip demand
AMD reported strong third-quarter 2026 earnings on November 3, driven by surging demand for its data center AI chips, with revenue and profits exceeding analyst expectations. The company's data center segment saw significant growth as sales of its MI-series AI accelerators to cloud providers and enterprises accelerated. This performance helped offset weakness in other segments, including its gaming and embedded businesses, which continued to face market softness. Looking ahead, AMD provided a fourth-quarter revenue forecast above consensus estimates, signaling continued momentum in its AI business. Executives highlighted expanding customer adoption and a robust product roadmap as key drivers for sustained growth into 2027.
