The integration of AI capabilities into its product lineup showcases AMD‘s (NASDAQ:AMD) unwavering focus on technological advancement.
AMD’s Data Center business unit notably experienced a significant uptick, growing by 38% year-over-year (YoY) to achieve record sales of $2.3 billion. This surge underscores AMD’s expanding market share in the data center realm, propelled by robust demand for its Instinct GPUs and EPYC CPUs.
