  "account": "AMD's CEO, Lisa Su, has sparked outrage among gamers by stating that the company is now focused on the data center market over consumer sales. In an interview with Yahoo Finance's Executive Editor, Sozzi, Su emphasized that AMD is a \"data center first\" company, highlighting its resources for expansion and the ability to assist customers. She also expressed her belief in the future of AI and super intelligence, stating that these technologies will become increasingly essential to every aspect of life.\n\nSu's comments come after AMD's Q3 2026 earnings call, where she noted a slowdown in PC sales due to higher memory and component costs. She further predicted that PC market unit shipments will decline by more than 10% in 2027. In response to the declining PC market, AMD expects to outperform the market by delivering its Ryzen roadmap and growing its commercial footprint.\n\nThe shift in AMD's focus has not gone unnoticed by gamers, who are becoming increasingly frustrated with the company's priorities. With the PC market expected to decline by over 10% next year, consumers are left with a bleak outlook for the future of gaming and computing. AMD's decision to prioritize data centers over consumer sales has left many feeling betrayed and disappointed in the company's direction.",
