AMD’s graphics card sales just took a nosedive

AMD may make some of the best graphics cards you can buy, but they aren't selling well. In its financial results for the first quarter of 2024, AMD shared that gaming revenue was down 33% compared to the previous quarter, and down 48% compared to the same point last year.

In total, AMD brought in $922 million in its gaming segment in the first quarter. For reference, in Nvidia's previous revenue report, it reported $2.9 billion for its gaming segment. AMD attributes the drop in revenue to "a decrease in semi-custom revenue and lower AMD Radeon GPU sales."
