PC sell-through slowed late in the quarter as higher memory and component costs weighed on demand, and AMD said it was aligning sell-in with sell-through to maintain healthy customer and channel inventory. Management identified enterprise, premium consumer, and desktop channel as priority PC markets, noting Ryzen PRO adoption by large enterprises and commercial system launches from HP and Lenovo. Gaming revenue was pressured by lower semi-custom sales at this point in the console cycle and lower graphics demand, although Radeon GPU channel sell-through increased sequentially and Radeon AI Pro demand grew as developers used AMD products to run and fine-tune models locally.
