AMD Reports Q3 2026 Results Amid PC Market Slowdown

CEO Lisa Su highlights strong EPYC demand while warning of rising component costs and a projected 10% decline in 2027 global PC sales.

CEO presented the company's Q3 2026 financial results, revealing a significant shift in the hardware market. While AMD reports high demand for processors and Instinct accelerators, PC sales began slowing at the end of the third quarter.

The industry faces rising costs as memory and component prices climb. AMD increased GDDR6 prices for partners by 8% to 10% starting October 1, 2026. Team Group warns that memory shortages will peak between Q4 2026 and Q2 2027, impacting the supply chain.

Looking ahead, AMD expects global PC sales volume to decline by over 10% in 2027. Despite the projected market contraction and rising production costs, the company remains focused on its roadmap, including the planned release of future processors.
