Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) reported strong earnings and revenues that exceeded expectations, primarily due to heightened demand for AI GPUs. The company has increased its forecast for data-center AI GPU revenue to more than $5 billion for 2024, a significant revision from the earlier expectation of $4.5 billion.
