At the 80% threshold, an estimated $52.2 billion 2026 base yields $93.96 billion for 2027; AMD’s outlook is higher than that threshold.
CEO Lisa Su gave the growth outlook during AMD’s Nov. 3 earnings call. At precisely 80% growth, a $52.2 billion base becomes $93.96 billion. Since the outlook is for growth above 80%, that calculation marks the threshold, not a separate dollar forecast from AMD.
The $52.2 billion base is an estimate, not full-year guidance announced by the company. It combines $35.166 billion in revenue for the first nine months of 2026 with the $17 billion midpoint of AMD’s fourth-quarter outlook. The company put that quarter’s revenue at about $17 billion, plus or minus 3%, so the final annual base will depend on the reported fourth-quarter result.
AMD reported third-quarter revenue of $13.377 billion, rounded to $13.38 billion, a 45% increase from a year earlier. Data Center revenue rose 97% to $8.5 billion, about 64% of the company’s total. Those are reported results; the 2026 base and 2027 growth outlook involve estimates and projections.
EconoTimes has previously covered AMD’s revenue-growth outlook. The fourth-quarter results will show how closely the estimated base used in the calculation tracks AMD’s full-year revenue.
