AMD hits record Q3 revenue and confirms Zen 6 EPYC for 2026
Advanced Micro Devices posted third-quarter fiscal 2025 earnings of $9.2 billion, surpassing analyst predictions and marking a 36 percent gain from the prior year. The chip maker also reported a 20 percent jump compared to the second quarter, establishing a new company benchmark for quarterly sales.
Chief executive Lisa Su disclosed during the earnings presentation that EPYC server processors using Zen 6 architecture will arrive in 2026. The Venice family relies on TSMC manufacturing at 2 nanometers and has entered laboratory testing, where engineers report substantial advances in processing speed, power consumption and computational capacity. Cloud computing companies will likely receive early access when mass production begins. Su separately introduced Helios accelerators built on MI400 designs for artificial intelligence and supercomputing tasks, scheduled for release next year with 40 petaflops of throughput, 432 gigabytes of HBM4 memory and 19.6 terabytes per second transfer rates to rival offerings from NVIDIA.
Fourth quarter projections call for $9.6 billion in revenue with adjusted gross margin reaching 54.5 percent, aligning with market expectations despite a slight after-hours stock price dip.
