AMD announced revenue for the second quarter of 2023 of $5.4 billion, a gross margin of 46%, an operating loss of $20 million, a net income of $27 million, and diluted earnings per share of $0.02. On a non-GAAP basis, the gross margin was 50%, operating income was $1.1 billion, net income was $948 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.58.

“We delivered strong results in the second quarter as 4th Gen EPYC and Ryzen 7000 processors ramped significantly,“ said AMD Chair and CEO Lisa Su. “Our AI engagements increased by more than seven times in the quarter as multiple customers initiated or expanded programs supporting future deployments of Instinct accelerators at scale. We made strong progress meeting key hardware and software milestones to address the growing customer pull for our data center AI solutions and are on track to launch and ramp production of MI300 accelerators in the fourth quarter.“

“We are pleased with our second quarter execution,“ said AMD EVP, CFO and Treasurer Jean Hu. “Looking to the third quarter, we expect our Data Center and Client segment revenues to each grow by a double-digit percentage sequentially driven by increasing demand for our EPYC and Ryzen processors, partially offset by Gaming and Embedded segment declines.“

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“. or the third quarter of 2023, AMD expects revenue to be approximately $5.7 billion, plus or minus $300 million, and expects non-GAAP gross margin to be approximately 51%.
