AMD gets community noted for trying to appeal to gamers after CEO’s “data center first” comments
Table of Contents
AMD’s social media team is partial to posting the occasional meme, but their latest attempt hasn’t exactly landed. The post is simple: an image of a Radeon graphics card holding hands with a person on the beach, with top text reading “Never forget who was there for you at your lowest,” with the AMD Gaming team’s accompanying text reading “I know you’ll always be there for me.”
Whether it’s a nod to the messy situation at Nvidia (namely Jensen Huang’s resignation) or not, the timing isn’t the best. Despite all the great work we’ve seen with the Radeon ecosystem lately – including wider support for FSR 4 on consoles, handhelds, and older GPU generations such as the RX 7000 and RX 6000 series – gamers aren’t overwhelmingly confident that Team Red has their back.
Community note for AMD points out Lisa Su’s comments
AMD’s Chair and CEO, Lisa Su, recently commented that AMD is now “a data center first company,” adding “that is our profile” in a recent interview. It’s not surprising to hear given massive growth in the sector, with data center revenue nearly doubling, all the while accounting for ~63% of AMD’s total quarterly revenue, according to financial results published last week. On the flip side, gaming revenue was down 40% in the same period, though we are between console generations, and there have been no major GPU launches this year.

Perhaps we should point out that Nvidia did the very same thing last year, describing itself as “an AI data center infrastructure company” during last year’s Q3 results. Interestingly, that comment came from CFO Colette Kress, who is now serving as Nvidia’s Interim CEO following Jensen Huang’s exit. Lisa Su has previously predicted data center market value to hit $1 trillion by 2030.
A post being community noted (the “Readers added context box”) is an easy way for fans to show their distaste, and the hundreds of responses on the post make it obvious how gamers feel about the data center comments. The next big tech event on the calendar is CES 2027 in January, but previous rumors suggest AMD might only launch one RDNA 5 GPU in the entire year.
