From PC World: If you’ve been tracking AMD’s market share in the PC CPU market, you know that it’s continually climbed over the past year or so. Chief executive Dr. Lisa Su told Wall Street that she expects that trend to continue, even after the company’s desktop CPU business reached record highs during the third quarter of 2025.
AMD’s Client and Gaming segment of the business sold $4 billion worth of processors, CPUs, and semi-custom chips for the console business during the third quarter, but was slightly surpassed by a record $4.3 billion from the data center. Given the ravenous appetite for AI, its efforts in the data center dominated the company’s third-quarter 2025 earnings call — analysts didn’t ask a single question specifically about its PC business.
That’s somewhat surprising, given AMD’s continued success in the PC market. The company’s client business, made up of its CPU sales, recorded a record $2.8 billion.
“Our PC processor business is performing exceptionally well, with record quarterly sales as the strong demand environment and breadth of our leadership Ryzen portfolio accelerates growth,” Su told analysts in a transcript provided by Investing.com. “Desktop CPU sales reached an all-time high, with record channel sell-in and sell-out led by robust demand for our Ryzen 9000 processors, which deliver unmatched performance across gaming, productivity, and content creation applications.”
