A recent post by AMD on its official X account has left many gamers puzzled, featuring an image of someone holding a Radeon graphics card and a caption stating, "Never forget who was there for you at your lowest." This came just a week after AMD CEO Lisa Su declared the company a "data center first" entity. The timing of this message seems to be in response to recent events at Nvidia, where CEO Jensen Huang recently stepped down after 33 years.
With Nvidia facing questions about his departure and its impact on the AI industry, AMD may have seen it as an opportune moment to emphasize its loyalty to gamers. However, Su earlier emphasized in an interview with Yahoo Finance that AMD is, and always will be, a data center-first company. This position is evident in AMD's financial reports, with data center revenue surging by 97% to $8.5 billion, accounting for nearly two-thirds of the company's total earnings.
In contrast, gaming revenue dropped significantly by 40% to $773 million. The post may also highlight AMD's strategy of offering more competitive GPU prices, but the reality of high GPU prices remains unchanged. AMD's recent GPU releases have been limited, with the Radeon RX 9050 being the most recent addition. Despite this, AMD has traditionally been favored by gamers for offering better value.
