What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

AMD is promoting AI PC technology to redefine the modern workplace for the enterprise. Despite this push, worldwide PC shipments dropped over 20.1% year over year in Q3 2026 to 62.7 million units. This decline, which was the second consecutive drop, is attributed to supply constraints and earlier inventory pull-in.
