Yup. $AMD delivered a clean beat-and-raise. Data center is the entire story, of course. Client was up and embedded bottomed. Q1 2026: -Revenue $10.25B vs $9.84B Street, BEAT by 4.2% -Non-GAAP EPS $1.37 vs $1.28 Street, BEAT by 7.0% -Data center $5.78B vs $5.56B Street, BEAT by 3.9% -Non-GAAP GM 55%, Q2 guide steps to 56% -Q2 guide $11.2B vs ~$10.65B Street, BEAT by 5.2% 5 takeaways: -Data center up 57% YoY is sequential growth on a tough Q4 comp. EPYC and Instinct both contributing. Operating leverage is no longer aspirational. -Client up 26% YoY against the "PCs die on memory costs" thesis. Mix to higher-ASP parts plus share gain off Intel's tight client supply. -Q1 GM of 55% is the clean run-rate without the Q4 MI308 inventory reversal benefit. Q2 guide of 56% is real margin expansion off a normalized base. Mix is rotating to higher-margin server. -Embedded $873M, up 6% YoY. Off the cyclical bottom. No longer a drag. Can't wait for the call.




Whoa! BBG: Apple is considering using Samsung Foundry and Intel Foundry.















Nvidia’s market cap has now increased by more than $2.15 trillion since Michael Burry began shorting the stock.



Rumor: Qualcomm’s ARM data center CPU is scheduled to launch in June.
