AMD's Lisa Su says the company is now data centre first

[Plateau70]

AMD's focus has shifted firmly towards data centres. PC Gamer reports on comments from chief executive Lisa Su in an interview with Yahoo Finance, in which she described AMD as a data centre first company

Su said the data centre business will grow 50 percent from the third quarter to the fourth, and that AMD should more than double its business next year. Growth on that scale shows where AMD's priorities lie

On AMD's latest earnings call, Su also forecast a double digit fall in PC sales in 2027. Radeon and gaming graphics cards were not mentioned

The PC Gamer writer blames tech leaders for the memory shortage affecting PC prices, which is his opinion rather than reported fact. Readers can judge that argument for themselves

AI data centres are where the money is, so AMD's priorities are not surprising. Gamers may worry that consumer products get less attention, especially with a PC slump forecast. AMD's Ryzen chips remain popular with PC builders, so the company is unlikely to drop them

Should gamers worry about AMD's data centre focus? And will PC sales fall next year?
