    SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2025. Second quarter revenue was a record $7.7 billion, gross margin was 40%, operating loss was $134 million, net income was $872 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.54. On a non-GAAP(*) basis, gross margin was 43%, operating income was $897 million, net income was $781 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.48. As previously announced, our second quarter results were impacted by the U.S. Government’s export control on our AMD Instinct™ MI308 data center GPU products. For the quarter, these restrictions led to approximately $800 million in inventory and related charges. Excluding these charges, non-GAAP gross margin would have been approximately 54%.

    “We delivered strong revenue growth in the second quarter led by record server and PC processor sales,” said Dr. Lisa Su, AMD Chair and CEO. “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.”

    “We achieved 32% year-over-year revenue growth and generated record free cash flow this quarter, reflecting our disciplined execution,” said Jean Hu, AMD EVP, CFO and Treasurer. “Our strategic investments across hardware, software and systems position us well to support robust future growth and drive long-term shareholder value.”

Forward-looking statements are commonly identified by words such as “would,” “may,” “expects,” “believes,” “plans,” “intends,” “projects” and other terms with similar meaning. Investors are cautioned that the forward-looking statements in this press release are based on current beliefs, assumptions and expectations, speak only as of the date of this press release and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Such statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond AMD’s control, that could cause actual results and other future events to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. Material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, without limitation, the following: impact of government actions and regulations such as export regulations, tariffs and trade protection measures, and licensing requirements; competitive markets in which AMD’s products are sold; the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry; market conditions of the industries in which AMD products are sold; AMD’s ability to introduce products on a timely basis with expected features and performance levels; loss of a significant customer; economic and market uncertainty; quarterly and seasonal sales patterns; AMD’s ability to adequately protect its technology or other intellectual property; unfavorable currency exchange rate fluctuations; ability of third party manufacturers to manufacture AMD’s products on a timely basis in sufficient quantities and using competitive technologies; availability of essential equipment, materials, substrates or manufacturing processes; ability to achieve expected manufacturing yields for AMD’s products; AMD’s ability to generate revenue from its semi-custom SoC products; potential security vulnerabilities; potential security incidents including IT outages, data loss, data breaches and cyberattacks; uncertainties involving the ordering and shipment of AMD’s products; AMD’s reliance on third-party intellectual property to design and introduce new products; AMD’s reliance on third-party companies for design, manufacture and supply of motherboards, software, memory and other computer platform components; AMD’s reliance on Microsoft and other software vendors’ support to design and develop software to run on AMD’s products; AMD’s reliance on third-party distributors and add-in-board partners; impact of modification or interruption of AMD’s internal business processes and information systems; compatibility of AMD’s products with some or all industry-standard software and hardware; costs related to defective products; efficiency of AMD’s supply chain; AMD’s ability to rely on third party supply-chain logistics functions; AMD’s ability to effectively control sales of its products on the gray market; impact of climate change on AMD’s business; AMD’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets; potential tax liabilities; current and future claims and litigation; impact of environmental laws, conflict minerals related provisions and other laws or regulations; evolving expectations from governments, investors, customers and other stakeholders regarding corporate responsibility matters; issues related to the responsible use of AI; restrictions imposed by agreements governing AMD’s notes, the guarantees of Xilinx’s notes, the revolving credit agreement and the ZT Systems credit agreement; impact of acquisitions, joint ventures and/or strategic investments on AMD’s business and AMD’s ability to integrate acquired businesses, including ZT Systems; AMD’s ability to complete the sale of ZT Systems’ manufacturing business; impact of any impairment of the combined company’s assets; political, legal and economic risks and natural disasters; future impairments of technology license purchases; AMD’s ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; and AMD’s stock price volatility. Investors are urged to review in detail the risks and uncertainties in AMD’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including but not limited to AMD’s most recent reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q.






    (*) In this earnings press release, in addition to GAAP financial results, AMD has provided non-GAAP financial measures including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating expenses/revenue percent, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. AMD uses a normalized tax rate in its computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision to provide better consistency across the reporting periods. For fiscal 2025, AMD used a non-GAAP tax rate of 13%, which excludes the tax impact of pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments. Additionally, AMD has provided an adjusted non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin which excludes the inventory and related charges associated with U.S. export restrictions. AMD also provides adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and free cash flow margin as supplemental non-GAAP measures of its performance. These items are defined in the footnotes to the selected corporate data tables provided at the end of this earnings press release. AMD is providing these financial measures because it believes this non-GAAP presentation makes it easier for investors to compare its operating results for current and historical periods and also because AMD believes it assists investors in comparing AMD’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that it does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance and for the other reasons described in the footnotes to the selected data tables. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this earnings press release should be viewed in addition to and not as a substitute for or superior to AMD’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read only in conjunction with AMD’s Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures referenced are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the data tables in this earnings press release. This earnings press release also contains forward-looking non-GAAP gross margin concerning AMD’s financial outlook, which is based on current expectations as of August 5, 2025, and assumptions and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Adjustments to arrive at the GAAP gross margin outlook typically include stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition-related and other costs. The timing and impact of such adjustments are dependent on future events that are typically uncertain or outside of AMD’s control, therefore, a reconciliation to equivalent GAAP measures is not practicable at this time. AMD undertakes no intent or obligation to publicly update or revise its outlook statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

    The Company presents “Adjusted EBITDA” as a supplemental measure of its performance. Adjusted EBITDA for the Company is determined by adjusting GAAP net income for interest expense, other (income) expense, net, income tax provision (benefit), equity income in investee, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, inventory loss at contract manufacturer, acquisition-related and other costs, restructuring charges, and income from discontinued operations, net of tax. The Company calculates and presents Adjusted EBITDA because management believes it is of importance to investors and lenders in relation to its overall capital structure and its ability to borrow additional funds. In addition, the Company presents Adjusted EBITDA because it believes this measure assists investors in comparing its performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. The Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may or may not be consistent with the calculation of this measure by other companies in the same industry. Investors should not view Adjusted EBITDA as an alternative to the GAAP operating measure of net income or GAAP liquidity measures of cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities that can affect cash flows.

    The Company also presents free cash flow as a supplemental Non-GAAP measure of its performance. Free cash flow is determined by adjusting GAAP net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations for capital expenditures, and free cash flow margin % is free cash flow expressed as a percentage of the Company’s net revenue. The Company calculates and communicates free cash flow in the financial earnings press release because management believes it is of importance to investors to understand the nature of these cash flows. The Company’s calculation of free cash flow may or may not be consistent with the calculation of this measure by other companies in the same industry. Investors should not view free cash flow as an alternative to GAAP liquidity measures of cash flows from operating activities.

  • CDC warns of mosquito-borne chikungunya outbreak in southeast China

    CDC warns of mosquito-borne chikungunya outbreak in southeast China

    U.S. health officials issued a warning to travelers about a mosquito-borne illness being transmitted in parts of southeast China.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said there is an outbreak of chikungunya in Guangdong Province, China. Most cases have been reported in the city of Foshan.

    Most people infected with the virus develop symptoms that include fever, joint pain, headache, muscle pain, rash and joint swelling, the CDC said Friday in a travel warning. Symptoms usually begin three to seven days after a person has been bitten by an infected mosquito.

    The CDC said most people recover in about a week, and there is no treatment. In some cases, severe joint pain can last for several months to years following acute illness.

    Newborns and older adults, as well as people with medical conditions such as heart disease and diabetes, are more prone to severe illness. Death from chikungunya is rare, the CDC said.

    China held a national conference in July on ways to prevent and treat the virus. Between July 20 and July 26, there were a total of 2,940 new local cases reported in Guangdong Province, China’s National Health Commission said in a July 31 news release. The cases were mild with no reports of severe illness or deaths.

    Insect repellents and wearing clothing that covers the skin can help protect people from mosquito bites. Vaccination is recommended for people who are visiting an area with an outbreak, the CDC said. There are two approved vaccines in the United States.

    The virus was first detected in Tanzania in 1952, according to the World Health Organization. Since 2004, outbreaks have become more frequent and widespread.

    It has been found in Asia, Africa, Europe and North and South America.

  • Potato Evolved from Tomato Plants 8-9 Million Years Ago, New Research Suggests

    Potato Evolved from Tomato Plants 8-9 Million Years Ago, New Research Suggests

    Interbreeding between tomato plants and potato-like species from South America about 8-9 million years ago gave rise to the modern-day potato (Solanum tuberosum); this ancient evolutionary event triggered the formation of the tuber, the enlarged underground structure that stores nutrients found in plants like potatoes, yams, and taros, according to a team of biologists from China, Canada, Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

    Interspecific hybridization may trigger species radiation by creating allele combinations and traits. Cultivated potato and its 107 wild relatives from the Petota lineage all share the distinctive trait of underground tubers, but the underlying mechanisms for tuberization and its relationship to extensive species diversification remain unclear. Through analyses of 128 genomes, including 88 haplotype-resolved genomes, Zhang et al. revealed that Petota is of ancient hybrid origin, with all members exhibiting stable mixed genomic ancestry, derived from the Etuberosum and Tomato lineages ca. 8-9 million years ago. Image credit: Zhang et al., doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2025.06.034.

    The cultivated potato is currently the world’s third most important staple crop, and with wheat, rice, and maize, is responsible for 80% of human caloric intake.

    In appearance, modern potato plants are almost identical to three potato-like species from Chile called Etuberosum. But these plants do not carry tubers.

    Based on phylogenetic analysis, potato plants are more closely related to tomatoes.

    To solve this contradiction, Dr. Sanwen Huang from the Agricultural Genomics Institute at Shenzhen at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences and colleagues analyzed 450 genomes from cultivated potatoes and 56 of the wild potato species.

    “Our findings show how a hybridization event between species can spark the evolution of new traits, allowing even more species to emerge,” Dr. Huang said.

    “We’ve finally solved the mystery of where potatoes came from.”

    “Wild potatoes are very difficult to sample, so this dataset represents the most comprehensive collection of wild potato genomic data ever analyzed,” said Dr. Zhiyang Zhang, a researcher at the Agricultural Genomics Institute at Shenzhen at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

    The authors found that every potato species contained a stable, balanced mix of genetic material from both Etuberosum and tomato plants, suggesting that potatoes originated from an ancient hybridization between the two.

    While Etuberosum and tomatoes are distinct species, they shared a common ancestor about 14 million years ago.

    Even after diverging for about 5 million years, they were able to interbreed and gave rise to the earliest potato plants with tubers around 8-9 million years ago.

    The researchers also traced the origins of the potato’s key tuber-forming genes, which are a combination of genetic material from each parent.

    They found the SP6A gene, which acts like a master switch that tells the plant when to start making tubers, came from the tomato side of the family.

    Another important gene called IT1, which helps control growth of the underground stems that form tubers, came from the Etuberosum side.

    Without either piece, the hybrid offspring would be incapable of producing tubers.

    This evolutionary innovation coincided with the rapid uplift of the Andes Mountains, a period when new ecological environments were emerging.

    With a tuber to store nutrients underground, early potatoes were able to quickly adapt to the changing environment, surviving harsh weather in the mountains.

    Tubers also allow potato plants to reproduce without seeds or pollination. They grow new plants by simply sprouting from buds on the tuber.

    This trait allowed them to rapidly expand and fill diverse ecological niches from mild grasslands to high and cold alpine meadows in Central and South America.

    “Evolving a tuber gave potatoes a huge advantage in harsh environments, fueling an explosion of new species and contributing to the rich diversity of potatoes we see and rely on today,” Dr. Huang said.

    The study was published on July 31, 2025 in the journal Cell.

    The Chengdu Supply Chain Association and the Consulate General of Pakistan in Chengdu have reached a consensus on jointly building a “Belt and Road” international supply chain service station, with plans to complete and put it into operation within the year. It is expected to debut as early as September.

    The “Belt and Road” international supply chain service stations are an innovative international cooperation platform facilitating local enterprises to accelerate their overseas expansion and expand into the international market, China Economic Net reported on Tuesday.

    According to reports, in the first half of this year, the platform has already facilitated 35 cooperative projects involving trade and investment.

    In July this year, the Chengdu Supply Chain Association partnered with the Consulate General of Pakistan in Chengdu to jointly host the “Chengdu B2B Matchmaking Event for China-Pakistan Meat and Poultry Industries.” During the event, eight Chinese meat importers and buyers, including Yuhu Cold Chain, held online video meetings with Pakistani meat producers, focusing specifically on expanding production and trade cooperation in the meat and poultry sectors.

    Leveraging the “bridge” function of the supply chain service station, opportunities for communication and matchmaking between domestic and foreign enterprises have increased, leading to a corresponding rise in mutually beneficial economic and trade cooperation fostered through these joint efforts.

    Initiated by the Chengdu Supply Chain Association in May 2024, the “Belt and Road” international supply chain service station is an innovative international cooperation platform providing enterprises with a full range of services such as international logistics, business docking, product display, investment attraction, etc.

  • Apple’s latest Liquid Glass design shows it won’t back down with iOS 26

    Apple’s latest Liquid Glass design shows it won’t back down with iOS 26

    iOS 26 is a feature-packed update, but the biggest change is easily the new Liquid Glass design. And the latest iOS 26 beta shows that despite criticism, Apple isn’t backing down from its original Liquid Glass vision.

    The evolution of Liquid Glass in iOS 26 so far

    Designers speak out about Apple's Liquid Glass design language

    Every summer, the same story plays out with Apple software:

    1. Apple unveils its major new releases in June.
    2. It iterates on features and designs throughout the summer beta cycle.
    3. Then the finished product ships in September.

    This year, that beta cycle has been especially fun as a way to track the progress of Liquid Glass.

    iOS 26’s first two betas came with some small Liquid Glass differences, but mostly the same vision was in-tact.

    Beta 3, however, had many wondering if Apple was walking back its new design before it even shipped.

    Liquid Glass in iOS 26 beta 2 (top) and beta 3 (bottom)

    Liquid Glass was dialed way back in iOS 26 beta 3, to the degree that some called it “frosted glass.”

    But then beta 4 arrived, ultimately becoming the public beta build too, and brought the “liquid” back in a big way.

    In today’s beta 5, Liquid Glass looks largely the same as beta 4, except it’s been expanded to even more UI elements.

    Today’s release makes clear that what we see now is, by and large, what Apple plans to ship.

    Why Liquid Glass is unlikely to change much…for now

    iOS 26 Liquid Glass design

    If you’re unfamiliar with Apple’s typical summer beta cycle, you should know that July’s first public beta build and the first beta in August tend to be particularly consequential.

    The July public beta always includes changes that have been implemented in response to early feedback from developers, who have had the new OS since June.

    Meanwhile the first August release tends to be the last beta with substantial changes.

    That’s because in August, Apple typically shifts to focusing on bug fixes and stability ahead of the big September launch.

    It’s been fun to track the back-and-forth progress of Liquid Glass throughout the beta cycle.

    But other than very minor tweaks, Apple’s history with summer betas indicates the design we have now is largely locked.

    What were your favorite announcements in the WWDC 2025 keynote | Liquid Glass seen across Apple devices

    Whatever critiques Liquid Glass may elicit, Apple clearly believes in its original vision and plans to ship it next month.

    Of course, after iOS 26 ships to all users, there will undoubtedly be some updates that arrive later.

    For example, last year’s big Photos and Mail redesigns both got a variety of refinements later on, after user feedback (i.e., complaints) started piling up.

    It’s very likely we’ll see a similar story play out with iOS 26.

    Even though the current Liquid Glass design seems set to ship, iOS 26.1 or 26.2 will likely include further refinements, or perhaps new tools to modify the design to each user’s liking.

    But for now at least, we should all get used to the current state of Liquid Glass sticking around through the big public launch.

    What are your thoughts on the current Liquid Glass design in iOS 26? Let us know in the comments.

    WASHINGTON | Scientists say they have at last solved the mystery of what killed more than 5 billion sea stars off the Pacific coast of North America in a decade-long epidemic.

    Sea stars – often known as starfish – typically have five arms and some species sport up to 24 arms. They range in color from solid orange to tapestries of orange, purple, brown and green.

    Starting in 2013, a mysterious sea star wasting disease sparked a mass die-off from Mexico to Alaska. The epidemic has devastated more than 20 species and continues today. Worst hit was a species called the sunflower sea star, which lost around 90% of its population in the outbreak’s first five years.

    “It’s really quite gruesome,” said marine disease ecologist Alyssa Gehman at the Hakai Institute in British Columbia, Canada, who helped pinpoint the cause.

    Healthy sea stars have “puffy arms sticking straight out,” she said. But the wasting disease causes them to grow lesions and “then their arms actually fall off.”

    The culprit? Bacteria that has also infected shellfish, according to a study published Monday in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution.

    The findings “solve a long-standing question about a very serious disease in the ocean,” said Rebecca Vega Thurber, a marine microbiologist at University of California, Santa Barbara, who was not involved in the study.

    It took more than a decade for researchers to identify the cause of the disease, with many false leads and twists and turns along the way.

    Early research hinted the cause might be a virus, but it turned out the densovirus that scientists initially focused on was actually a normal resident inside healthy sea stars and not associated with disease, said Melanie Prentice of the Hakai Institute, co-author of the new study.

    Other efforts missed the real killer because researchers studied tissue samples of dead sea stars that no longer contained the bodily fluid that surrounds the organs.

    But the latest study includes detailed analysis of this fluid, called coelomic fluid, where the bacteria Vibrio pectenicida were found.

    “It’s incredibly difficult to trace the source of so many environmental diseases, especially underwater,” said microbiologist Blake Ushijima of the University of North Carolina, Wilmington, who was not involved in the research. He said the detective work by this team was “really smart and significant.”

    Now that scientists know the cause, they have a better shot at intervening to help sea stars.

    Prentice said that scientists could potentially now test which of the remaining sea stars are still healthy — and consider whether to relocate them, or breed them in captivity to later transplant them to areas that have lost almost all their sunflower sea stars.

    Scientists may also test if some populations have natural immunity, and if treatments like probiotics may help boost immunity to the disease.

    Such recovery work is not only important for sea stars, but for entire Pacific ecosystems because healthy starfish gobble up excess sea urchins, researchers say.

    Sunflower sea stars “look sort of innocent when you see them, but they eat almost everything that lives on the bottom of the ocean,” said Gehman. “They’re voracious eaters.”

    With many fewer sea stars, the sea urchins that they usually munch on exploded in population – and in turn gobbled up around 95% of the kelp forest s in Northern California within a decade. These kelp forests provide food and habitat for a wide variety of animals including fish, sea otters and seals.

    Researchers hope the new findings will allow them to restore sea star populations — and regrow the kelp forests that Thurber compares to “the rainforests of the ocean.”

  • Apple’s iPhone 17 launch event now has an exact rumored date

    Apple’s iPhone 17 launch event now has an exact rumored date

    Back in mid-July, a rumor from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who is always in the loop when it comes to Apple-related info, claimed the iPhone 17 family’s launch event would be taking place the week that commences on September 8. Gurman then speculated that it could happen on September 8, 9, or 10, since the 12th is a Friday and Apple never holds launch events on Fridays, and September 11 is probably a date it wants to avoid any connection to.

    Today, some unnamed sources from within German carriers have allegedly spilled the beans on the exact date of the upcoming event: Tuesday, September 9.

    Apple will then release the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max on September 19, which is the Friday after the event – that is the traditional thing to do for Apple with regard to availability in the initial batch of markets.

    As you undoubtedly know by now, the iPhone 17 Air will be insanely thin and light and will replace the Plus model which has been the worst seller of the family. Whether the Air will be any better remains to be seen – it does naturally have its thin profile and lightness going for it, but will sacrifice battery life and camera prowess in the process.

  • BLACKPINK’s ‘Pink Venom’ Video Passes 1 Billion Views on YouTube

    BLACKPINK’s ‘Pink Venom’ Video Passes 1 Billion Views on YouTube

    One by one, then two by two, BLACKPINK‘s videos are crossing the one billion views mark on YouTube, and the K-pop girl group’s latest visual to achieve that feat is none other than “Pink Venom.”

    This marks the sixth music video by the group — which is comprised of JENNIE, JISOO, LISA and ROSÉ — to reach the milestone. Previous official music videos by the global superstars to hit the 1 billion YouTube streams achievement are “DDU-DU DDU-DU” and “Kill This Love,” which both have more than 2 billion views; “BOOMBAYAH,” which is nearing the 2 billion mark; and “AS IF IT’S YOUR LAST” and “How You Like That.”

    The visual for “Pink Venom” premiered nearly three years ago on Aug. 19, 2022, with the track being the first single off BLACKPINK’s sophomore studio album, Born Pink, which arrived about a month later in mid September. The song reached No. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100, while the album topped the Billboard 200.

    This is hardly the first time BLACKPINK has made a notable impact on the video streaming service. In July 2018, “DDU-DU DDU-DU” earned an impressive 36.2 million views in its first day, which YouTube told Billboard at the time made the video the most viewed Korean music video of the year at that point. It was also the fastest visual by a K-pop group to earn 100 million views, which it reached in just 10 days, then went on to become the most viewed video by a K-pop group by January 2019 when it crossed the 620.9 million views mark. Not only that, BLACKPINK also became the first K-pop group to reach 20 million subscribers on the platform. “Kill This Love,” meanwhile, nabbed the biggest music video debut in YouTube history at the time in April 2019 by earning nearly 58 million streams in just 24 hours.

    Since then, BLACKPINK’s global domination has not stopped, though it slowed down for a little bit as each group member focused on solo projects (including acting roles for LISA in season three of White Lotus, and JENNIE in The Idol). But the K-pop superstars have since reunited to continue on with their band work, releasing new single “Jump” in July. The return track has so far reached a high of No. 28 on the Hot 100.

    The group recently wrapped the North American leg of its DEADLINE World Tour, and has kicked off its European leg. The trek returns to Asia in October, and wraps with two shows at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Stadium on Jan. 24-25.
