What Could Influence Advanced Micro Devices’ H2 2018 Revenue?

What Could Influence Advanced Micro Devices’ H2 2018 Revenue?

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) earns revenue by selling CPUs (central processing units), GPUs (graphics processing units), and APUs (application processing units) for PCs, data centers, game consoles, and embedded devices. In 2018, it adopted a new accounting standard that shifted its game consoles’ seasonal revenue from the third quarter to the second quarter. That boosted its second-quarter revenue 53% YoY (year-over-year), its highest double-digit YoY growth for quite some time. It was also the eighth consecutive quarter of double-digit YoY growth.
