Bottom line: AMD's latest quarter makes clear where the company's business is shifting: toward data centers and AI workloads. The company reported $6.7 billion in data center revenue in Q2 2026, more than double the $3.2 billion it generated in the same period a year earlier and up from $5.8 billion in the previous quarter. Data center now accounts for 58% of AMD's total revenue, underscoring how much demand for AI compute is driving the business.
AMD's overall revenue reached a record $11.5 billion, up 50% year-over-year. "Revenue increased 50 percent year-over-year to a record $11.5 billion, driven by continued strength in our Data Center business, which represented 58% of company revenue in the quarter," AMD CFO Jean Hu wrote. That mix puts data center and AI-related compute at the center of AMD's financial results rather than its traditional PC and gaming lines.
On the earnings call, CEO Lisa Su said the company expects this trend to continue. She told analysts that AMD anticipates "data center segment revenue to more than double year-over-year in 2027," pointing to a longer-term build-out of AI infrastructure rather than a short spike in spending. Su tied the current results directly to AI demand: "AI is driving a significant expansion in demand for compute across all of our markets, and our leadership portfolio and growing customer visibility position us exceptionally well to capture this expanding opportunity and deliver substantial revenue and earnings growth in the years ahead."
