- Record Computing and Graphics segment revenue was $2.8 billion, up 33% year-over-year and 8% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year increase was driven by Ryzen™ and Radeon™ processor sales. The quarter-over-quarter increase was driven by Ryzen™ processor sales.
- Client processor average selling price (ASP) increased year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter driven by a richer mix of Ryzen processor sales.
- GPU ASP increased year-over-year driven by high end Radeon processor sales and decreased quarter-over-quarter due to a lower mix of data center GPU revenue.
- Record operating income was $723 million compared to $485 million a year ago and $566 million in the prior quarter. Operating income improvements were primarily driven by higher revenue, partially offset by higher operating expenses.
- Record Enterprise, Embedded and Semi-Custom segment revenue was $2.5 billion, up 88% year-over-year and 13% quarter-over-quarter driven by higher EPYC™ processor revenue, semi-custom and embedded product sales.
- Record operating income was $881 million compared to $277 million a year ago and $762 million in the prior quarter. Operating income improvements were primarily driven by higher revenue and an $83 million licensing gain.
- Xilinx partial quarter revenue was $559 million with operating income of $233 million. On a pro-forma basis for the full quarter, Xilinx generated over $1 billion of revenue, up 22% year-over-year, driven by growth across all Xilinx major end market categories.
- All Other operating loss was $886 million as compared to operating losses of $100 million a year ago and $121 million in the prior quarter. Higher operating loss was primarily due to amortization of intangible assets and acquisition-related costs.

Current Outlook
AMD’s outlook statements are based on current expectations. The following statements are forward-looking and actual results could differ materially depending on market conditions and the factors set forth under “Cautionary Statement” below.
For the second quarter of 2022, AMD expects revenue to be approximately $6.5 billion, plus or minus $200 million, an increase of approximately 69% year-over-year and approximately 10% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year increase is expected to be driven by the addition of Xilinx and higher server, semi-custom and client revenue. The quarter-over-quarter increase is expected to be primarily driven by Xilinx and higher server revenue. AMD expects non-GAAP gross margin to be approximately 54% in the second quarter of 2022.
For the full year 2022, AMD now expects revenue to be approximately $26.3 billion, an increase of approximately 60% over 2021, up from prior guidance of approximately 31%, driven by the addition of Xilinx and higher server and semi-custom revenue. AMD expects non-GAAP gross margin to be approximately 54% for 2022, up from prior guidance of approximately 51%.
