AMD Stock Surges 8% After Data Center Revenue Nearly Doubles
AMD beat third-quarter earnings expectations as AI chip demand powered a near-doubling of data center revenue, sending shares sharply higher.
Advanced Micro Devices shares jumped roughly 8% after the chipmaker posted third-quarter results that topped Wall Street expectations, fueled by surging demand for artificial intelligence processors, according to a report from US Top News and Analysis.
The standout figure was data center revenue, which came close to doubling compared with the year-earlier period — a performance that underscored how AI-driven infrastructure spending continues to reshape the semiconductor landscape. Hyperscalers and enterprise customers alike have been accelerating purchases of high-performance chips to build out the compute capacity required for large-scale AI model training and inference.
