Its Data Center GPU business remains robust in 3Q, driven by strong AI demand that accelerates overall revenue and EPS growth, despite a declining Gaming and Embedded revenue. Despite anticipated gross margin expansion in 4Q, AMD management noted that the margin profile is currently below the corporate average as the company prioritizes demand growth.
