Advanced Micro Devices $AMD ( ▲ 3.65% ) posted good financial results on Tuesday, causing the stock to jump 5.02% in after-hours trading.

Financials: AMD reported earnings of $2.09 per share in the past quarter and revenue of $13.4 billion. Both were better than expected.

Powering the Story: The company’s data center segment sales surged 97% due to strong demand.

Early Bird’s Nest Egg Gains: AMD’s data center segment is doing so well because it is benefiting from two growth engines simultaneously: EPYC server CPUs are gaining traction, while Instinct AI GPUs are scaling into larger deployments. 

Final Thoughts: AMD expects revenue to hit $17 billion in the current quarter, which is better than expected. Compare that to rival Intel $INTC ( ▲ 0.97% ), which posted a weak outlook recently.

HubSpot's CRM is so smart, it now updates itself. Calls get logged and summarized the moment they end. New leads get researched and a first outreach drafted, automatically. Deals move forward on their own, with next steps flagged before you have to ask. 

Even the one repetitive task you've been meaning to fix can now run itself, no code required. Customers using it are already seeing the difference. 

This isn't the CRM you have to work hard to figure out. It's the one already working before you log in.
