AMD
Lead the $1 trillion compute market, 2026 to 2030
Build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences
Lead the $1 trillion compute market
AMD’s revenue grew 34% in 2025, to $34.6 billion, and its data center business now brings in about half of it. At its Financial Analyst Day in November 2025 it set out four strategic pillars to lead a data center market it expects to grow from about $200 billion in 2025 to more than $1 trillion in 2030, with company revenue to grow more than 35% a year over the next three to five years.
Extend Compute Technology Leadership
Chiplet 1 of 4
| 01Chiplets and packaging | Extend its chiplet, packaging, and interconnect technology, starting with a 5th generation of Infinity Fabric. |
|---|---|
| 02A GPU every year | Bring out a new Instinct GPU every year: the MI350 Series in 2025, the MI450 Series in Helios racks in 2026, and the MI500 Series in 2027., |
| 03AI PCs | Reach an inflection point in AI PCs with its next Gorgon and Medusa processors, with up to ten times the AI performance of 2024. |
| 11 November 2025 | The MI350 Series became the fastest-ramping product in AMD’s history. |
| 4 August 2026 | AMD launched the Instinct MI400 Series, including the MI455X, and its 6th generation of EPYC server processors. |
The data center business has grown from 17% of AMD’s revenue to 58%
AMD made about $2 billion from data centers in 2020 and $16.6 billion in 2025. In the second quarter of 2026, data center revenue more than doubled on the year before, to $6.7 billion.,,
58%
of AMD’s revenue from data centers in Q2 2026
Each die is an equal slice of the year’s revenue. The shares for 2023 to 2025 are worked out from AMD’s segment revenue; the others are AMD’s own.
Give each business its own growth rate.
AMD did not set one growth target and leave the businesses to share it out: it set more than 35% for the company, more than 60% for data center, more than 80% for data center AI, and more than 10% for the rest. We recommend writing a separate rate for each part of a business, so that a part expected to grow slowly is not judged against the fastest.
Pay partners in the success you want.
AMD gave OpenAI and Meta warrants for up to 160 million shares each, which vest only as their GPU purchases rise to 6 gigawatts and AMD’s share price reaches set levels. We recommend tying what a big partner gains to the outcome both sides want, so that the deal keeps paying only while it works.
Say what share of the market you mean to hold.
Beside its growth rates, AMD names the market share it aims for in each business: more than half of server processor revenue, more than 40% of client, and more than 70% of adaptive computing. We recommend adding a share target to a growth target, because growth alone can hide falling behind a market that grows faster.
