AMD PRELIM 3Q REV. ABOUT $5.6B, EST. $6.71B

AMD CITES WEAKER CLIENT SEGMENT REVENUE

AMD: WEAKER THAN EXPECTED PC MARKET, INVENTORY CORRECTIONS

View on HN

What would Q3 revenue have been without the Xilinx acquisition?

The new Zen 4 based Ryzen 7000 series was not released yet either, but was very anticipated. There's likely some impact there on overall sales as folks wait for the next-gen to release.

Looks like AMD stock might be going on sale...

if consumers are hit by inflation, are they splurging for new gaming/PC components?

Fair point, but overall I'd probably wager yes. PC gamers routinely throw big money behind small gains, even when it doesn't make financial sense. Your typical PC gamer is likely more "in tune" with new tech releases than a console gamer as well, and would be more likely to know next-gen is about to be available (not just CPU's either).

I wasn't able to get my 5 year PC refresh due to the insane demand at the start of the pandemic, when the previous series of parts came out...

I have _hard_ decided that I will get something NEW. I'm not getting 2-3 year old retail designs. Hopefully I can this year.

I am waiting for the new and GPUs then likely upgrading my four year old gear too, likely in q1. Everything should be on sale by then I think.

Uppercase just means they copy/pasted from Bloomberg in financial news.

Please don't lazily copy/paste either I guess.

I would have thought uppercase for quoting is equally bad, for the same reason as using uppercase for emphasis. You can use ** and/or prefix with >.

But, okay, clearly the community disagrees with my interpretation of the guidelines!

He means that the original copied text was in uppercase...

Okay, but I don't think changing the case is too big an ask.
