The company's Data Center segment revenue was $4.3 billion, up 22% year-over-year thanks to strong demand for AMD's new 5th Gen EPYC processors and AMD Instinct MI350 series AI GPUs. However, AMD's Client and Gaming segment revenue was $4 billion, up 73% year-over-year, with client revenue at a record $2.8 billion, up 46% year-over-year, mostly thanks to record sales of Ryzen processors.

Gaming revenue was $1.3 billion, up an even stronger 181% year-over-year, driven by higher semi-custom revenue (console chips) as well as "strong demand" for Radeon RX series GPUs. Impressive, considering that its Q2 2024 earnings report saw a 59% drop in gaming revenue, but now it's 181% higher than last year, with more on that story in the link above.
