"Xilinx continues to deliver on technology leadership and execution. Sales from our 28nm product family achieved a new record during the quarter. Momentum from our 20nm products continued to be strong, with sales easily surpassing our $30 million target. In addition, 16nm products continued to gain exceptional customer adoption with all three Ultrascale+ product families shipping to over 100 customers in a broad base of end markets," said Moshe Gavrielov, Xilinx President and Chief Executive Officer. "Profitability was stronger than expected during the quarter. Gross margin of 70.7% was up from 69.2% in the prior quarter, primarily as a result of operational efficiencies and mix. Operating margin was 32.4%, driven by better gross margin and controlled operating expenses."
