1. AMD's PC business continued to decline sharply year on year in the second quarter, but the decline was slower than in the first quarter.

Including desktop and notebook PC processors and chipsets, AMD's customer division had second-quarter revenue of US$998 million, a year-on-year decrease of 54%, a sharp decrease of 65.2% year-on-year in the first quarter, and a 35% increase in second-quarter revenue over the first quarter.

AMD said that the year-on-year decline in this business stemmed from reduced processor shipments due to a weak PC market and significant inventory adjustments throughout the PC supply chain. At the same time, it was pointed out that the reason for the month-on-month increase in revenue stemmed from the surge in sales of Ryzen 7000 series CPUs and the improvement in the PC market environment.

2. The game business in the second quarter was still the largest source of revenue for AMD, and the year-on-year decline was slower than in the first quarter.

Including independent graphics processing units (GPUs) and semi-custom game console products, AMD's gaming division had revenue of US$1.6 billion, down 4% year on year, and down 6.3% year on year in the first quarter.

According to AMD, sales of semi-custom products in this business increased year over year, but this was offset by the decline in GPUs. The business's second-quarter revenue fell 10% month-on-month, mainly due to a decline in GPU sales.
