• The company forecast Q2 revenue of $7.1–$7.7 billion, above Wall Street expectations, despite accounting for an $800 million charge tied to new export controls.
• U.S. restrictions on AI chip exports to China are projected to reduce AMD’s 2025 revenue by $1.5 billion, with significant impacts expected in Q2 and Q3.
• Data center segment revenue surged 57% year-over-year to $3.7 billion, driven by strong demand for Epyc processors and Instinct GPUs.
• Investor sentiment remains positive, bolstered by AMD’s raised guidance and robust AI-driven growth, even as policy uncertainty looms.
