If you’re a PC gamer, like I am, it’s been a rough time, and things aren’t looking much better. RAM and storage prices are ridiculous, GPUs are still expensive as hell, and now we’re watching the very companies that PC gamers helped make successful turn their attention to AI and data centers. Nvidia has already made it pretty clear where its priorities are, and it certainly isn’t the average PC gamer looking to upgrade their graphics card.
But at least we still have AMD, right? Well, about that.
AMD CEO Lisa Su recently dropped a bombshell during an interview with Yahoo Finance’s Brian Sozzi, stating that AMD is now a “data center first” company. Yep, the same AMD that spent years telling us how its Ryzen CPUs and Radeon GPUs would push PC gaming forward.
I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised. During the third quarter of 2026, AMD reported a record $13.4 billion in revenue, with its data center business bringing in $8.5 billion, or roughly 64% of that total. Meanwhile, its gaming division brought in just $773 million, a 40% drop compared to the same period last year.
When you see numbers like that, it’s pretty obvious why AMD...
