TL;DR: AMD’s Q2 2026 revenue hit a record $11.5 billion driven by $6.7 billion in Data Center sales, while Client and Gaming revenue rose 6% to $3.8 billion despite Gaming falling 31% to $779 million due to lower semi-custom (console) revenue amid declining PlayStation 5 and Xbox hardware sales.

AMD has released its financial results for Q2 2026, with the company’s second quarter revenue hitting a record $11.5 billion, driven by its Data Center segment. AMD’s Data Center revenue reached $6.7 billion, which was more than double the same period last year, with the company citing strong demand for its AMD EPYC processors and AMD Instinct GPUs as the main reason. Translation: AI.
When it comes to the consumer side that most of us know, that is the home of Ryzen and Radeon, AMD’s Client and Gaming segment revenue hit an impressive $3.8 billion, which was up 6% year-over-year. And that’s impressive because the Gaming slice of this segment saw its revenue drop by 31% compared to the same period last year, to $779 million.
Although it doesn’t go into full details on the 31% drop, AMD cites “lower semi-custom revenue” as the main reason. AMD’s semi-custom Gaming business covers the chips it makes for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam Deck, Steam Machine, and other gaming devices that combine custom Ryzen and RDNA architecture.

However, when you look at the recent financial reports from Sony and Microsoft in relation to PlayStation and Xbox sales, the 31% drop lines up with lower console sales. For the three months ending June 30, 2026, PlayStation 5 sales declined by 36% compared to the same period last year, hitting 1.6 million. Although Microsoft doesn’t provide sales figures for Xbox Series X|S consoles, Xbox hardware revenue decreased by 29% for the same period compared to last year, with the company citing a “lower volume of consoles sold” as the reason.
