AMD Reassures Gamers Amid Data Center Pivot

AMD Gaming shares a sentimental social media post as the company shifts focus toward data centers following a 40% drop in gaming revenue.

AMD Gaming recently shared a post on X featuring a person holding hands with a Radeon graphics card. The post, captioned 'I know you'll always be there for me,' included text reminding followers to never forget who supported them during their lowest moments.

This social media outreach follows CEO Lisa Su's statement to Yahoo Finance that AMD is now a 'data center first company.' While Q3 revenue hit $13.4 billion, gaming revenue dropped 40% to $773 million, contrasting a 97% surge in data center sales to $8.5 billion.

The shift comes as Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang steps down after 33 years. Despite the focus on data centers, AMD recently launched the RX 9050 and expanded the RX 9070 GRE market reach, even as the RX 9060 XT 16GB sells for $200 above its $350 suggested price.
