“Sales in the June quarter exceeded our expectations,” said Moshe Gavrielov, Xilinx President and Chief Executive Officer. “New product sales were exceptionally strong increasing 17% sequentially. Much of this growth came from strong customer demand for our 40-nm Virtex^®-6 and Spartan^®-6 families as well as our 65-nm Virtex-5 family. In addition, we continued to demonstrate our 28-nm technology leadership by shipping our second FPGA family, Virtex-7, during the quarter. With the industry’s highest performance, density and bandwidth, Virtex-7 FPGAs achieved design wins in a broad base of applications including wired and wireless communications, broadcast infrastructure, aerospace and defense and high performance computing.”
