It is reported that in addition to selling computer GPU, AMD's games division is also responsible for providing semi-custom processors for game devices such as PS5, XSX | S and SteamDeck.
In 2022, the division had revenue of $6.805 billion and a net profit of $953 million, reflecting the sheer size of orders from Sony and other mainframe manufacturers.
But, AMD can't rest easy either.
It can be seen from the sales trends of previous generations.Sales of most game consoles peak in the third year of launch, so manufacturers tend to renegotiate component pricing during this periodThis means that revenue from hosts such as PS5 and XSX | S will decline over time.
As a result, AMD may need to find new major sources of revenue in 2023 to cope with a possible drop in revenue from gaming hardware.
