However, looking past the (hopefully one-time) geopolitics-induced charge, the bigger picture is brighter for AMD. The Client and Gaming segment saw revenues surge 69% year-over-year, driven by price increases and strong demand for its latest Ryzen processors and higher semi-custom sales. This underlying strength in a core business segment that usually suffers from recurring demand cycles is reassuring. Gaming is back in the growth game again, and the server business is booming again, providing AMD with the cash flow and financial stability it needs to fund its long-term, capital-intensive push into the AI space.
