AMD’s AI Datacenter Revenue Dived Due to China GPU Sales Ban
UNITED STATES, AUG 6 – AMD posted $7.7 billion revenue, up 32% year-over-year, but US export restrictions on AI GPUs to China caused an $800 million charge and pressured data center margins.
- On Aug 5, Advanced Micro Devices reported $7.7b in revenue, $872 million in net income, and declined to forecast Chinese Instinct MI308 GPU sales.
- Earlier this year, AMD faced U.S. license controls on AI chip exports to China, with a ban on Instinct MI308 GPU sales costing $800 million and impacting revenue.
- AMD's datacenter segment gained 14% to $3.2 billion, and the gaming segment surged 73% to $1.1 billion.
- In after-hours trading, AMD shares fell almost six percent as CFO Jean X Hu predicted Q3 revenue of $8.7 billion, plus or minus $300 million, with MI308 revenue excluded from guidance.
- The MI400 accelerators are expected to launch next year, with OpenAI planning purchases, while the White House has signaled potential waivers for MI308 exports and licensing remains a key focus.
