A record third quarter 2020 for AMD , which reaches a turnover of 2.8 billion US dollars with a increase of as much as 56% compared to the same period last year and 45% based on the second quarter of the year 2020.

A brilliant result for the company, by far the highest quarterly turnover recorded in the last 10 years , which is the result of both the demand for CPU and GPU and the sale of semi-custom chips intended for use in console new generation Microsoft and Sony, debuting over the next few weeks.

The growth in turnover led to an almost linear increase in the gross operating margin , which reached 1, 23 billion dollars, up by 58% compared to Q3 2019. Operating profit reached 449 million dollars, two and a half times the figure obtained both last year and the previous quarter, while the ‘net profit was 390 million US dollars, still growing strongly.

New record thanks to Ryzen CPUs

Sales of the Computing division and Graphics , which gathers both Ryzen processors as well as video cards Radeon , recorded an annual increase of 31% and 22% based on the second quarter. It was the Ryzen processors that dominated in this division, with a slight contraction in sales of video cards pending the debut of those of next generation expected in November.

For the Enterprise, Embedded and Semi-Custom division AMD shows a turnover that has more than doubled both taking as reference the third quarter 2019, and the 3 months preceding those of reference. In this case, as reported, the growth in turnover was generated by the production of the semi-custom chips adopted by the new generation consoles as well as the increase in sales of processors of the EPYC family destined for data centers.

It will be interesting at this point to evaluate, in a few months, the results of the last quarter 2020. AMD has estimated a turnover figure of 3 billion dollars for the last months of the year, a value that is growing, therefore, considering many innovations expected at the debut between Ryzen processors with Zen 3 architecture and Radeon video cards with RDNA2 architecture will certainly have a positive impact on the company’s turnover and financial data. Which, moreover, has no intention of slowing down the good moment it is experiencing, with the announcement of the acquisition of Xilinx which was confirmed today
