Product and Financial Highlights
The Company continues to experience strong growth in its 16nm Ultrascale+ product families driven by Zynq and Virtex. We are now shipping to over 530 customers, a significant increase from the prior quarter. Additionally, the disruptive RFSoC product family is now sampling to multiple customers. This product family provides a 50-75% power and footprint reduction for 5G, cable and wireless backhaul applications. In addition to RF-class technology and multi-core processing devices, Xilinx is expanding its 16nm Ultrascale+ family with integrated High-Bandwidth Memory.
Xilinxs 28nm product family set a new PLD industry sales record during the quarter. Introduced in 2011, the 28nm node is the broadest product family ever offered by Xilinx. With exceptional execution and leadership products, this node is driving success across multi-markets as well as a much longer and more profitable sales ramp than any product in Xilinxs history.
Baidu, a Chinese web services company, deployed Xilinx FPGA-based application acceleration services in their public cloud. The Baidu FPGA Cloud Server, a new service in Baidu Cloud, features highly efficient Xilinx FPGAs, tools, and the software needed to develop and deploy hardware-accelerated data center applications such as machine learning and data security.
During the quarter, the company issued $750 million of fixed rate debt at a rate of 2.95% with a seven year term. Xilinx redeemed the remaining balance of $458 million on its convertible debt on June 15, 2017.
