Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — TechPowerUp
It ranks mainly on source trust: TechPowerUp is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.
Single-sourced. No second organisation has confirmed it yet.
Link-outLink-out, because only one organisation carries it and no first-party source is on it. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.

| Source trustleads | 0.25 | 0.80 | +0.200 38% | TechPowerUp is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate. |
| Freshness | 0.20 | 0.97 | +0.194 37% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
What happened
AMD looks set to bring in more quarterly revenue than Intel for what appears to be the first time ever. Alongside its record Q3 2026 results, AMD guided Q4 revenue to approximately $17 billion, plus or minus 3%, or roughly $16.5 billion to $17.5 billion. Intel, on the other hand, expects Q4 revenue between $15 billion and $16 billion. Even the bottom of AMD's range sits above the top of Intel's, so unless either company misses its guidance badly, the flip is pretty much locked in. Most of AMD's growth comes from the data center. AMD's Data Center segment hit a record $8.5 billion in Q3, up 97% year over year, on strong EPYC demand and the launch of the Instinct MI450 Series GPUs inside its Helios racks.
