Overview

Lisa Su has been CEO since 2014. Fiscal 2025 revenue was a record $34.6 billion. For the quarter ended Sept. 26, 2026, AMD reported revenue of $13.377 billion, up 45 percent, GAAP diluted EPS of $1.46 and non-GAAP EPS of $2.09. Data Center revenue was $8.546 billion, up 97 percent. Fourth-quarter revenue is guided to about $17 billion, plus or minus 3 percent, and non-GAAP gross margin to about 55 percent. Prepared remarks for the Nov. 3, 2026 call say AMD started shipping MI455X in volume in the quarter and that Anthropic, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI and Oracle brought their first Helios racks online. The remarks give no GPU count and no separate rack revenue, and they do not say Oracle's 50,000-GPU public cluster is customer-available. They expect 2027 revenue to grow more than 80 percent and Data Center to be more than 80 percent of 2027 revenue. Server revenue is expected to double in 2027. Taalas and World Labs are expected to close by the end of the year and were not described as closed. The CFO expects about 1.67 billion diluted shares in the fourth quarter, including the estimated impact of those closes. The Oak Ridge Lux page was not reopened on this pass.

What's next15

  1. Q3-Q4 2026

    Ship Helios volume in late Q3 and Q4 2026

    Lisa Su said at Advancing AI 2026 that Helios is in full production, with shipments starting at the end of Q3 and ramping through Q4. Q3 guidance of about $13 billion is the first earnings print that can show whether rack-scale revenue is real. Watch named customer deliveries versus reference-design status.

  2. Q3 2026

    Stand up Oracle's 50,000-GPU public Helios cluster

    OCI is contracted as the first hyperscaler to offer a public MI450 Helios supercluster, 50,000 GPUs starting in calendar Q3 2026 and expanding in 2027. That is the most specific public GPU count attached to Helios.

  3. Calendar Q3 2026

    Confirm Oracle 50,000-GPU Helios public availability

  4. H2 2026

    Start Meta's first 1 GW custom-MI450 deployment

    Meta's first gigawatt is a custom GPU based on MI450, shipped in Helios, with Meta also leading on EPYC Venice. AMD said in Q1 2026 that shipments were on track for the second half. Meta is already testing Helios racks.

  5. H2 2026

    Close the Taalas acquisition

    The August 6, 2026 definitive agreement to buy inference-chip startup Taalas is still subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. AMD plans to integrate the dataflow technology with Instinct GPUs.

  3. Meta launches about $35 billion in stock offerings

    Meta said on Oct. 26, 2026 that it launched underwritten offerings of about $35 billion: 250 million Series A depositary shares, each a one-twentieth interest in mandatory convertible preferred stock and sized at about $12.5 billion, plus $22.5 billion of Class A shares sold through forward agreements with Morgan Stanley Capital Services and Goldman Sachs. Meta said it expects no cash from the common-stock sale until the forwards settle on or before Nov. 19, 2027, and the preferred dividend and conversion terms are still unset. A further $60 billion Class C at-the-market program has no agreement yet, and Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom have a non-binding interest in up to $5 billion of the Class A shares combined.

  4. AMD introduces Helion racks for agentic AI

    AMD said on Oct. 12 at the Open Compute Project summit that it introduced Helion, an open rack blueprint for agentic AI. A CPU-only configuration uses 6th Gen EPYC processors and can hold up to 32,768 cores, and an all-in-one configuration adds Instinct MI350P GPUs. AMD said partner systems are still in development and planned for November 2026, and that it intends to contribute the specification to OCP. This is a reference design, not a reported shipment.

  5. Nvidia commits $1B over five years to US science

    NVIDIA said on Oct. 8, 2026 it will commit $1 billion over five years to U.S. super-intelligence research, including university compute, quantum work, and cloud providers serving government missions, at the White House Science: A New Golden Age event. The White House listed that pledge inside a $2.4 billion industry pool that also names AMD ($500 million), OpenAI ($200 million), Anthropic and Google ($150 million each), and AWS ($50 million). NVIDIA did not split the $1 billion among those uses, and the figure is a multi-year commitment rather than a booked payment.

    1. Gives a 2027 outlook and says first Helios racks are online

      In Nov. 3, 2026 prepared remarks, Lisa Su said AMD started shipping MI455X in volume in the quarter and that Anthropic, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI and Oracle brought their first Helios racks online. She expects Helios deployments to increase substantially in the fourth quarter. She expects 2027 revenue to grow more than 80 percent and Data Center to be more than 80 percent of 2027 revenue. Server revenue is expected to double in 2027. Both the Taalas and World Labs acquisitions are expected to close by the end of the year. The remarks give no GPU shipment count and no separate rack revenue, and they do not say Oracle's 50,000-GPU public cluster is customer-available.

    2. Reports Q3 revenue of $13.377 billion

      On Nov. 3, 2026 AMD reported revenue of $13,377 million for the quarter ended Sept. 26, up 45 percent. GAAP net income was $2,428 million and diluted EPS was $1.46. Non-GAAP net income was $3,471 million and diluted EPS was $2.09. Data Center revenue was $8,546 million, up 97 percent. Client revenue was $2,949 million and gaming revenue was $773 million. Embedded revenue was $1,109 million. Fourth-quarter revenue is guided to about $17 billion, plus or minus 3 percent, with non-GAAP gross margin of about 55 percent. Cash and short-term investments were $15,776 million and free cash flow was $554 million. The release says Anthropic, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI and Oracle Cloud are running models on the first Helios racks and does not give a GPU count. Reuters reported that Lisa Su told analysts 2027 revenue should rise more than 80 percent. That sentence is not in the release.

    3. Pairs Helios with Cerebras for disaggregated inference

      On July 23, 2026 AMD and Cerebras announced a technical partnership. Helios is the high-throughput prompt engine and the Cerebras wafer-scale engine handles low-latency token generation. Cerebras plans to deploy Helios in its data centers, with the joint solution expected first through Cerebras Cloud in the second half of 2026. The up-to-5x tokens-per-second-per-watt figure is a modeled comparison with a Cerebras-only configuration, not a measured customer result.

    4. Says it will invest $1 billion in Meta

      On Oct. 27, 2026 AMD said it will invest $1 billion in Meta's equity offering. The release does not say the purchase has closed or name a share price. AMD said Helios racks are running at Meta and that the initial systems are installed and being tested ahead of a broader deployment. It said EPYC processors support the Muse agent and that Meta will deploy a custom Instinct GPU based on MI450. An Oct. 12 AMD recap had already said initial Helios systems were installed at Meta.

    5. Indicates interest in Meta's stock sale

      Meta said on Oct. 26, 2026 that AMD, Nvidia and Broadcom had indicated a non-binding interest in buying up to $5 billion of Class A shares in Meta's common-stock offering, in aggregate. Meta said any of them may buy more, fewer, or no shares.

    6. OCP recap names initial Helios systems at four customers

      AMD's 12 October 2026 OCP keynote recap says initial Helios systems are installed and running at OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft and Oracle. The sentence is in AMD's What It Means text. It gives no GPU count and does not say Oracle's 50,000-GPU public supercluster is customer-available. The same recap says Helion partner configurations are planned for November 2026 and that AMD plans to contribute the Helion architecture to OCP. Q3 results remain scheduled after the close on 3 November.

    7. Introduces Helion agentic AI rack blueprint

      On Oct. 12, 2026 AMD introduced Helion, an open rack blueprint for agentic AI based on an OCP design. A CPU-only version uses 6th Gen EPYC processors and can support up to 32,768 cores. An all-in-one version adds Instinct MI350P GPUs. AMD said partner configurations are in development and planned for November 2026, and that it will contribute the specification to OCP.

    8. White House lists AMD at $500 million for Genesis Mission credits

      A White House fact sheet dated 8 October 2026 listed AMD at $500 million among $2.4 billion of Genesis Mission Consortium compute credits and tools from eleven firms. NVIDIA's own release the same day was a $1 billion five-year US-science commitment. Neither document is a Helios rack receipt. AMD already has Lux as a Genesis platform expected to start in October 2026.
