AMD's 1Q FY2025 revenue topped the high end of its previous guidance, with strong margin expansion resulting in 55% YoY growth in non-GAAP EPS. The weak 2Q FY2025 outlook is largely impacted by the inventory write-off due to the MI308 chip ban in China. FY2025 remains a YoY growth rebound year, even considering the $1.5 billion revenue headwind from China, with Gaming and Embedded contributing positive YoY growth.
