AMD has posted a captioned image on its Gaming X account in an attempt to win users’ sympathy, but the community didn’t buy it. The tweet read, “I know you’ll always be there for me,” and included a picture of two people holding hands captioned, “Never forget who was there for you at your lowest.”
Unfortunately for AMD, this attempt didn’t go as planned, as many commenters pointed out the hypocrisy in the post. X users were quick to remind the company that its CEO, Lisa Su, said that AMD is a data centre-first company literally just a week ago. Su made this comment during a November 5 Yahoo Finance interview about AI demand and data centre growth. The community even created a fact-checking note below the tweet.
The note also linked to AMD’s latest Q3 2026 results, which showed how its gaming business revenue dropped by 40% year-on-year due to a fall in semi-custom and graphics sales, while its data centre revenue grew by 97%, driven by strong demand for Epyc processors and the launch of its Instinct MI450 series GPUs.
While AMD didn’t explicitly mention it, the post was conveniently published a day after Nvidia’s Jensen Huang resigned from his CEO role, following multiple extramarital affairs, one of which was with a presumed Chinese spy.
Speaking of Nvidia, funnily enough, the automated image description reads “A person holding hands with a large Nvidia graphics card is walking on a beach at sunset,” despite the card being sporting the Radeon brand.
AMD should have known better; this is clearly not the best moment for such posts, as AI squeezes gamers out of their beloved hobbies. No Radeon GPU is currently available at MSRP, so claiming it was there for gamers is really stretching the truth.
This is not 100% AMD’s fault, of course, as GDDR6 prices account for a good chunk of the increase, but still, the £569 MSRP Radeon RX 9070 XT now costs at least £800 on Amazon, representing over a 40% jump, even for the cheapest model. Add to that the slow reaction in bringing FSR 4 to last-gen GPUs, and you understand why some gamers are frustrated with the brand right now.
