Advanced Micro Devices reported record third-quarter 2026 revenue of $13.4 billion on November 3, up 45% from a year earlier. The company said data-center revenue reached $8.5 billion, nearly doubling year over year as demand for EPYC server processors and Instinct accelerators strengthened.
The results provide a useful measure of how spending on AI infrastructure is spreading beyond a small group of cloud providers. Data centers require processors, accelerators, networking, memory, cooling and power systems, creating opportunities across several parts of the technology supply chain.
AMD forecast fourth-quarter revenue of about $17 billion, plus or minus 3%. That outlook is management guidance rather than a guaranteed result. Investors will continue to compare the pace of AI-related demand with production capacity, competition, margins and the cost of expanding infrastructure.
The report also showed uneven performance across AMD’s businesses: its client and gaming segment revenue declined 8% year over year, while embedded revenue increased 29%. The contrast is a reminder that a strong AI cycle does not lift every product category equally.
