Third quarter revenues exceeded the high end of our guidance, delivering both sequential and annual growth, demonstrating strengthening business conditions and solid execution, said Victor Peng, Xilinx president and CEO. Our Wired and Wireless Group performed better than expected as 5G deployments ramped more meaningfully in North America. We achieved a record quarter in Automotive, Broadcast and Consumer end markets, driven by the ongoing economic recovery, as demand for automobiles strengthened and live media events returned. In addition, as expected, our first 7nm Versal ACAP has gone into production with a leading wireless OEM. We are excited to see the Versal product portfolio begin to contribute to Xilinx's long-term growth.
Our investments continue to deliver strong returns, with our Advanced Products growing 8% sequentially and representing 72% of total revenue, said Brice Hill, Xilinx CFO. We continue to drive our transformation to a platform company as demonstrated by our Zynq platform product revenue growing 24% sequentially, making up 27% of total revenue during the quarter. Our efficient financial model generated significant free cash flow of $354 million, or 44% of Q3 revenue.

Product and Financial Highlights - Fiscal Third Quarter 2021
Advanced Products represented 72% of total revenue, an 8% increase quarter over quarter and a 15% increase year over year. Zynq platform revenue grew 24% sequentially and 29% year over year, representing 27% of the total revenue. The sequential strength was driven by improvement in the Automotive and Broadcast end markets and the ramp of 5G in the Wireless end market.
Xilinx shipped its first production 7nm Versal ACAP parts to a leading wireless OEM, enabling the advanced signal processing performance and adaptability needed to deliver the next-generation 5G technologies like beamforming. Xilinx continues to make progress on broadening the Versal portfolio with additional Versal products in late-stage development.
Xilinx introduced Zynq RFSoC DFE, which combines hardened digital front-end (DFE) blocks and adaptable logic to build high-performance, low-power, and cost-effective 5G NR radio solutions for a broad array of use cases, ranging across low, mid and high-band spectrum.
Xilinx announced a collaboration with Te
