AMD grew revenue 38% year-over-year to $10.3 billion with EPS of $1.37 up 43% as data center AI demand inflected higher driven by agentic AI use cases and strategic partnerships across hyperscalers. EPYC server CPU market share accelerated as the Turin architecture gained traction, while server CPU TAM expanded driven by AI inference workloads requiring more CPU compute alongside GPUs. Management guided Q2 to $11.2 billion reflecting continued acceleration.

What AMD and other companies said about each other on FY2026 Q1 earnings calls — extracted verbatim from public transcripts. Mentions from the newest quarter are a Pro feature.
“yesterday when AMD spoke about the CPU market [indiscernible] TAM of $120 billion, slightly more than the $100 billion that you had given before. But then they also suggested that they expect to maintain 50% share.”
An analyst cites AMD's $120B CPU TAM and its expectation to hold 50% share, framing the x86-vs-Arm data-center CPU competitive dynamic.
“We continually offer the latest in accelerators, from the most recent NVIDIA and AMD options to emerging designs from companies like Cerebras and PowerCharm.”
AMD is one of the accelerator suppliers Oracle offers in its AI infrastructure, alongside NVIDIA and emerging designs.
“We also continue to modernize our fleet with our first-party innovation alongside the latest from NVIDIA and AMD.”
Microsoft names AMD alongside NVIDIA as a source of the latest accelerator silicon for its data-center fleet, a positive demand read-through for AMD.
