Strong Q2 Earnings and AI Chip Demand
AMD reported second-quarter revenue of $11.54 billion, a 50% increase from $7.69 billion in the same period last year. The growth was primarily driven by its artificial intelligence chips, with the Data Center unit reporting sales of $6.7 billion, marking a 107% increase year-over-year.
The demand for AI chips continues to drive growth in the semiconductor industry. AMD CEO Lisa Su stated last month that the company expects to double its data center sales by 2027.
