Reaching out to gamers just hours after Mr. Juan’s resignation; replies called him out on his “data center first” remarks
This post was made just hours after NVIDIA announced Mr. Huang’s resignation as CEO. Although it did not mention NVIDIA or Mr. Huang by name, given the timing, it’s safe to assume the post was made with the controversy in mind.
However, user reactions have been lukewarm, with replies citing AMD CEO Lisa Su’s “data center first” statement and pointing out the contradiction with the company’s policy. A community note referencing this statement has even been created in response to the post.
Gaming division down 40% year-over-year; CEO Su states, “We are a data center-first company”
CEO Su appeared in an interview video published by Yahoo! Finance following the earnings announcement, explaining that the data center business is expected to grow by 50% from the third quarter to the fourth quarter. She went on to say, “We’re aiming to double—no, more than double—the business over the next year.We are a data center-first company, and that is who we are,” she said.
The interview focused primarily on how demand for AI is growing at a pace that exceeds the company’s expectations. As an example, CEO Su cited Meta’s “Muse” agent, which reached over 10 million users in about six weeks.
Semiconductor and GPU manufacturers have made further strides driven by AI demand. How will the gaming and consumer GPU divisions of these companies evolve going forward?
