Did AMD Beat Earnings? Q2 2025 Results
Advanced Micro Devices delivered a mixed but broadly encouraging second quarter, posting revenue of $7.68 billion, up 31.7% year over year and ahead of the $7.43 billion consensus by 3.43%, even as a non-GAAP EPS of $0.48 came in just shy of the $0.48 analyst estimate, a miss of 0.54%. The quarter's defining event was roughly $800 million in inventory and related charges tied to U.S. government export controls on AMD's Instinct MI308 GPUs destined for China, a headwind that pushed GAAP operating results to a loss of $134 million and compressed non-GAAP gross margin to 43%, well below the 54% the business would have otherwise generated. Stripping out those charges, AMD's underlying mix looked healthy, with Client and Gaming revenue climbing 69% year over year to $3.62 billion on record Ryzen CPU demand and strong semi-custom shipments. Free cash flow reached $1.18 billion, and AMD guided Q3 revenue to approximately $8.70 billion, implying roughly 28% year-over-year growth, with non-GAAP gross margin expected to recover to approximately 54% as the MI308 export situation awaits regulatory resolution.
- Record server CPU (EPYC) and client PC processor (Ryzen) sales
- Strong semi-custom gaming revenue growth (73% YoY)
- EPYC processor share gains across cloud and enterprise customers
- Richer client product mix driving improved Client and Gaming segment margins
- Record free cash flow of $1.18 billion
“We delivered strong revenue growth in the second quarter led by record server and PC processor sales. We are seeing robust demand across our computing and AI product portfolio and are well positioned to deliver significant growth in the second half of the year, driven by the ramp of our AMD Instinct MI350 series accelerators and ongoing EPYC and Ryzen processor share gains.”

Forward Guidance & Outlook
For Q3 2025, AMD expects revenue of approximately $8.7 billion, plus or minus $300 million, representing year-over-year growth of approximately 28% and sequential growth of approximately 13%. Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be approximately 54%. Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $2.55 billion, with an effective tax rate of approximately 13% and diluted share count of approximately 1.63 billion shares. The current outlook does not include any revenue from AMD Instinct MI308 shipments to China as license applications are currently under review by the U.S. Government.
