Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – The Company

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. is a global semiconductor company. References herein to AMD or the Company mean Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. AMD’s products include x86 microprocessors (CPUs), as standalone devices or as incorporated into accelerated processing units (APUs), chipsets, discrete graphics processing units (GPUs), data center and professional GPUs, embedded processors, semi-custom System-on-Chip (SoC) products, microprocessor and SoC development services and technology, data center processing units (DPUs), Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), adaptive SoC products, and Adaptive Compute Acceleration Platform (ACAP) products. From time to time, the Company may also sell or license portions of its intellectual property (IP) portfolio.

On February 14, 2022 (the Xilinx Acquisition Date), the Company completed the acquisition of Xilinx, Inc. (Xilinx). On May 26, 2022 (the Pensando Acquisition Date), the Company completed the acquisition of Pensando Systems, Inc. (Pensando). See Note 5 - Business Combinations for additional information on these acquisitions.

NOTE 2 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of AMD have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 25, 2022 shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022 or any other future period. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position, cash flows and stockholders’ equity. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2021. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The Company uses a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in December. The three and six months ended June 25, 2022 and June 26, 2021 each consisted of 13 and 26 weeks, respectively.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. Areas where management uses judgment include, but are not limited to, revenue allowances, inventory valuation and related carrying value adjustments, valuation and assessing potential impairment, if any, of goodwill and intangible assets, business combination accounting and deferred income tax assets.

Significant Accounting Policies. Except for the addition of business combination, impairment of long-lived and intangible assets, and Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) accounting policies to the Company’s significant accounting policies, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2021.

Business Combinations. The Company is required to use the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The acquisition method of accounting requires the Company to allocate the purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquiree based on their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of these assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Critical estimates in valuing intangible assets include, but are not limited to, expected future cash flows, which includes consideration of future revenue growth and margins, future changes in technology, expected cost and time to develop in-process research and development and discount rates. Fair value estimates are based on the assumptions that management believes a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. These

estimates are inherently uncertain and, therefore, actual results may differ from the estimates made. As a result, during the measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of the purchase price of an acquisition, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets. Long-lived and Intangible assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment if indicators of potential impairment exist. Impairment indicators are reviewed on a quarterly basis. Assets are grouped and evaluated for impairment at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows.

When indicators of impairment exist and assets are held for use, the Company estimates future undiscounted cash flows attributable to the related assets groups. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded value of the assets, the assets are written down to their estimated fair values based on the expected discounted future cash flows attributable to the asset group or based on appraisals. Factors affecting impairment of assets held for use include the ability of the specific assets to generate separately identifiable positive cash flows.

When assets are removed from operations and held for sale, the Company estimates impairment losses as the excess of the carrying value of the assets over their fair value. Market conditions are among the factors affecting impairment of assets held for sale. Changes in any of these factors could necessitate impairment recognition in future periods for assets held for use or assets held for sale.

Long-lived assets such as property and equipment and intangible assets are considered non-financial assets and are measured at fair value when indicators of impairment exist.

Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI). In 2022, the Company elected to change its method of accounting for the United States GILTI tax from recording the tax impact in the period it is incurred to recognizing deferred taxes for temporary tax basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI tax in future years. The change is considered preferable based on the Company’s facts and circumstances as it provides better and more timely information of expected future income tax liabilities arising from temporary tax differences primarily associated with the Xilinx acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, the Company recorded $27.3 billion of identified intangible assets (refer to Note 5 - Business Combination), of which $16.9 billion are related to foreign operations which will be amortized to income from operations over the assets’ estimated useful lives, but for which the Company will not receive a tax deduction under GILTI. Recognition of deferred taxes for the future GILTI impact of this amount is considered preferable as it provides better information about potential future tax liabilities of the Company based on current transactions. This accounting policy change resulted in the recording of $863 million of deferred tax liabilities in connection with the Xilinx acquisition as disclosed in Note 12 - Income Taxes. In addition, for the three and six months ended June 25, 2022, it resulted in a decrease in the income tax provision with a corresponding increase to net income of $65 million and $136 million and an increase in basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.04 and $0.09 respectively, as compared to the computation under the previous accounting policy. This accounting policy change had no material impact on the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements.

Revenue

Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) include amounts received from customers and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods for development services, IP licensing and product revenue. As of June 25, 2022, the aggregate transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations under contracts with an original expected duration of more than one year was $171 million, of which $125 million is expected to be recognized in the next 12 months. The revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations does not include amounts which have an original expected duration of one year or less.

Revenue recognized over time associated with custom products and development services accounted for approximately 20% and 21% of the Company’s revenue for the three and six months ended June 25, 2022, respectively, and 22% for both the three and six months ended June 26, 2021.

NOTE 4 – Segment Reporting

Management, including the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, reviews and assesses operating performance using segment net revenue and operating income (loss). These performance measures include the allocation of expenses to the reportable segments based on management’s judgment. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company updated its segment reporting structure to align financial reporting with the manner in which the Company manages its business in strategic end markets. The Company’s disclosed measure of segment operating results has been updated consistent with the revised manner in which the Company’s CODM assesses the company’s financial performance and allocates resources. All prior-period segment data have been retrospectively adjusted.

The Company’s four reportable segments are:

  • the Data Center segment, which primarily includes server microprocessors, GPUs, data processing units (DPUs), FPGAs and adaptive SoC products for data centers;

  • the Client segment, which primarily includes microprocessors, accelerated processing units that integrate microprocessors and graphics, and chipsets for desktop and notebook personal computers;

  • the Gaming segment, which primarily includes discrete GPUs, semi-custom SoC products and development services; and

  • the Embedded segment, which primarily includes embedded microprocessors, GPUs, FPGAs, adaptive SoC products, and ACAP products.

From time to time, the Company may also sell or license portions of its IP portfolio.

In addition to these reportable segments, the Company has an All Other category, which is not a reportable segment. This category primarily includes certain expenses and credits that are not allocated to any of the reportable segments because the CODM does not consider these expenses and credits in evaluating the performance of the reportable segments. This category primarily includes amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, employee stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs and licensing gain.

The following table provides a summary of net revenue and operating income by segment:

NOTE 5 – Business Combinations

Pensando Acquisition

On May 26, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of all issued and outstanding shares of Pensando, a leader in next-generation distributed computing, for a transaction valued at approximately $1.9 billion. The recorded purchase consideration of $1.7 billion is net of deferred cash compensation requiring future services and other customary closing adjustments. The acquisition of Pensando and its leading distributed services platform expands the Company’s ability to offer leadership solutions for cloud, enterprise, and edge customers.

The purchase consideration was preliminarily allocated as follows:

Total Assets633
Accounts payable15
Accrued and other liabilities59
Total Liabilities74
Fair value of net assets acquired559
Goodwill1,110
Total preliminary purchase consideration$1,669

The Company allocated the preliminary purchase price to tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the preliminary estimates of their fair values, which were determined using generally accepted valuation techniques based on estimates and assumptions made by management. The fair values are subject to adjustment for up to one year after the close of the transaction as additional information is obtained. Any adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation identified during the measurement period will be recognized in the period in which the adjustments are determined.

Goodwill arising from the Pensando acquisition was assigned to the Company’s Data Center segment. Goodwill was primarily attributed to expanded market opportunities expected to be achieved from the integration of Pensando. Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Following are details of the purchase consideration allocated to acquired intangible assets:

Fair ValueWeighted-average estimated useful life
(In millions)(In years)
Developed technology (1)$604 years
Customer relationships (2)343 years
Customer backlog (3)161 year
Product trademarks (4)195 years
Identified intangible assets subject to amortization129
In-process research and development (IPR&D) not subject to amortization (5)220N/A
Total identified intangible assets acquired$349

1)The fair value of developed technology was determined using the income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method.

2)Customer relationships represent the fair value of existing contractual relationships and customer loyalty determined based on existing relationships using the income approach, specifically the with and without method.

3)Customer backlog represents the fair value of non-cancellable customer contract orders using the income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method.

4)Product trademarks primarily relate to the Pensando product-related trademarks, and the fair value was determined by applying the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method.

5)The fair value of IPR&D was determined using the income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method.

The fair value of the identified intangible assets subject to amortization will be amortized over the assets’ estimated useful lives based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are expected to be received to cost of sales and operating expenses.

IPR&D consists of projects that have not yet reached technological feasibility as of the acquisition date. Accordingly, the Company recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset of $220 million for the fair value of these projects, which will initially not be amortized. Instead, these projects will be tested for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that these projects may be impaired. Once the project reaches technological feasibility, the Company will begin to amortize the intangible assets over their estimated useful lives.

From the Pensando Acquisition Date to June 25, 2022, the Consolidated Statement of Operations include immaterial revenue and operating results attributable to Pensando, which are reported under the Data Center segment.

During the three months ended June 25, 2022, Pensando acquisition-related costs of $24 million were recorded under Cost of sales, Research and development, and Marketing, general and administrative expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Acquisition-related costs are primarily comprised of direct transaction costs, fair value adjustments for acquired inventory and certain compensation charges. The Company may incur additional acquisition-related costs in the future related to the acquisition.

Xilinx Acquisition

On February 14, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of all issued and outstanding shares of Xilinx, a leading provider of adaptive computing solutions, for a total purchase consideration of $48.8 billion ($46.4 billion, net of cash acquired of $2.4 billion). The acquisition of Xilinx expands the Company’s product portfolio to include adaptable hardware platforms that enable hardware acceleration and rapid innovation across a variety of technologies. With the acquisition of Xilinx, the Company now offers FPGAs, adaptive SoC products, and ACAP products. The purchase consideration consisted of $48.5 billion of fair value of 429 million shares of the Company’s common stock issued to Xilinx stockholders and $275 million of fair value of replacement equity awards attributable to services rendered pre-combination. As the transaction closed prior to the opening of markets on the Xilinx Acquisition Date, the fair value of the common stock issued to Xilinx stockholders was based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on February 11, 2022 of $113.18 per share.

The financial results of Xilinx are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the Xilinx Acquisition Date to June 25, 2022 and are reported under the Embedded and Data Center segments.

The purchase consideration was preliminarily allocated as follows:

The fair values are subject to adjustment for up to one year after the close of the transaction as additional information is obtained. The primary items pending are related to income tax matters. Any adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation identified during the measurement period will be recognized in the period in which the adjustments are determined.

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of Xilinx was assigned to the Embedded and Data Center segments. Goodwill was primarily attributed to increased synergies expected to be achieved from the integration of Xilinx. Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

(1)The fair value of developed technology was determined using the income approach, specifically, the multi-period excess earnings method.

(2)Customer relationships represent the fair value of existing contractual relationships and customer loyalty determined based on existing relationships using the income approach, specifically the with and without method.

(3)Customer backlog represents the fair value of non-cancellable customer contract orders using the income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method.

(4)Corporate trade name and product trademarks primarily relate to the Xilinx brand and product-related trademarks, respectively, and the fair values were determined by applying the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method.

(5)The fair value of IPR&D was determined using the income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method.

The fair value of the identified intangible assets subject to amortization will be amortized over the assets’ estimated useful lives based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are expected to be received to cost of sales and operating expenses.

IPR&D consists of projects that have not yet reached technological feasibility as of the acquisition date. Accordingly, the Company recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset of $970 million for the fair value of these projects, which will initially not be amortized. Instead, these projects will be tested for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that these projects may be impaired. Once the project reaches technological feasibility, the Company will begin to amortize the intangible assets over their estimated useful life.

The Company also assumed unvested restricted stock units with estimated fair value of $1.2 billion, of which $275 million was included as a component of the purchase consideration and $951 million will be recognized as expense subsequent to the acquisition.

The Consolidated Statement of Operations include the following revenue and operating income attributable to Xilinx for the three and six months ended June 25, 2022:

Three Months Ended June 25, 2022Six Months Ended June 25, 2022
(In millions)
Net revenue$1,251$1,810
Operating income$600$826

Operating income attributable to Xilinx recorded under the Embedded and Data Center segments does not include amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, employee stock-based compensation expense and acquisition-related costs, which are recorded under the “All Other” segment.

During the three and six months ended June 25, 2022, Xilinx acquisition-related costs of $117 million and $325 million, respectively, were recorded under Cost of sales, Research and development, and Marketing, general and administrative expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Acquisition-related costs are primarily comprised of direct transaction costs, fair value adjustments for acquired inventory and certain compensation charges. The Company may incur additional acquisition-related costs in the future related to the Xilinx acquisition.

The difference between the fair value at the Xilinx Acquisition Date and the principal outstanding of the Assumed Xilinx Notes will be amortized through interest expense over the remaining term of the debt. The Assumed Xilinx Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of the Company with semi-annual fixed interest payments due on June 1 and December 1. The indentures governing the Assumed Xilinx Notes contain various covenants which limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, create certain liens on principal property or the capital stock of certain subsidiaries, enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions with respect to principal property, and consolidate or merge with, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another person.

NOTE 9 – Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s financial instruments are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, except for non-marketable equity investments in privately-held companies. These equity investments are generally accounted for under the measurement alternative, defined as cost, less impairments, adjusted for subsequent observable price changes and are periodically assessed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that a decline in value may have occurred.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. The guidance for fair value measurements requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques, as well as significant management judgment or estimation.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is based on Level 2 inputs of quoted prices for the Company’s debt and comparable instruments in inactive markets.

The fair value of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable and other short-term obligations approximate their carrying value based on existing terms.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

As of June 25, 2022, the Company had non-marketable securities in private companies of $140 million, which were classified as Level 3 assets. The Company’s investments in non-marketable securities of private companies are recorded using a measurement alternative that adjusts the securities to fair value when the Company recognizes an observable price adjustment or an impairment. Such impairment losses or observable price adjustments were not material during the three months ended June 25, 2022. The balance of non-marketable securities in private companies as of December 25, 2021 was not material.

Hedging Transactions and Derivative Financial Instruments

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Designated as Accounting Hedges

Xilinx Replacement Awards

In connection with the acquisition of Xilinx, the Company issued equity awards as replacement for assumed equity awards to Xilinx employees. The replacement awards include restricted stock units of approximately 12 million shares with a weighted average fair value of $103.35 per share and have terms that are substantially the same as the assumed Xilinx awards. The fair value of replacement awards related to services rendered up to the Xilinx Acquisition Date was recognized as a component of the total purchase consideration while the remaining fair value of replacement awards attributable to post-combination services will be recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the remaining post-acquisition vesting period.

NOTE 12 – Income Taxes

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $54 million and $167 million for the three and six months ended June 25, 2022, representing effective tax rates of 10.8% and 11.9%, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax provision of $113 million and $202 million for the three and six months ended June 26, 2021, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 13.7% and 13.8%, respectively.

The difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% and the Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 25, 2022 was primarily due to U.S. reduced tax on foreign-derived intangible income benefit (FDII) and research credits.

The difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% and the Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 26, 2021 was primarily due to U.S. reduced tax on FDII and research credits.

As of June 25, 2022, the Company continues to maintain valuation allowances for certain federal, state, and foreign tax attributes. The federal valuation allowance maintained is due to limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 or 383, separate return loss year rules, or dual consolidated loss rules. Certain state and foreign valuation allowances maintained are due to a lack of sufficient sources of taxable income.

Quarterhill Inc. Litigation

On July 2, 2018, three entities named Aquila Innovations, Inc. (Aquila), Collabo Innovations, Inc. (Collabo), and Polaris Innovations, Ltd. (Polaris), filed separate patent infringement complaints against the Company in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. Aquila alleges that the Company infringes two patents (6,239,614 and 6,895,519) relating to power management; Collabo alleges that the Company infringes one patent (7,930,575) related to power management; and Polaris alleges that the Company infringes two patents (6,728,144 and 8,117,526) relating to control or use of dynamic random-access memory, or DRAM. Each of the three complaints seeks unspecified monetary damages, interest, fees, expenses, and costs against the Company; Aquila and Collabo also seek enhanced damages. Aquila, Collabo, and Polaris each appear to be related to a patent assertion entity named Quarterhill Inc. (formerly WiLAN Inc.). On May 14, 2020, at the request of Polaris, the Court dismissed all claims related to one of the two patents in suite in the Polaris case. On June 10, 2020, the Court granted AMD’s motions to stay the Polaris and Aquila cases pending the completion of inter partes review (IPR) of each of the patents-in-suit in those cases by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board.

On February 22, 2021, February 26, 2021, and March 10, 2021, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) issued final written decisions in IPR invalidating all asserted claims of the remaining Polaris and Aquila patents. On May 10, 2021, Aquila filed a notice of appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit for the IPR decision regarding U.S. Patent No. 6,895,519. On April 12, 2022, the Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB’s decision. On April 30, 2021, Polaris filed a notice of appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit for the IPR decision regarding U.S. Patent No. 8,117,526. On May 14, 2021, AMD filed a notice of cross-appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit for the IPR decision regarding U.S. Patent No. 8,117,526. On July 18, 2022, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the USPTO’s decision.

On February 8, 2022, Polaris filed a lawsuit against Xilinx, Inc. alleging infringement of four patents related to memory chips and memory interfaces. On February 22, 2022, the Company was served with the complaint. On April 14, 2022, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On April 28, 2022, Polaris filed an amended complaint. On May 12, 2022, the Company filed an answer to the amended complaint.

On June 1, 2022, Polaris filed two lawsuits against the Company and Hewlett-Packard GmbH, HP Deutschland GmbH in the Hamburg and Munich Courts in Germany, alleging infringement of two patents related to memory chips and memory interfaces.

Analog Devices Litigation

On December 5, 2019, Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) filed a lawsuit against Xilinx alleging infringement of eight patents related to switching circuits, comparators, analog to digital convertors, signal conditioners, and switched capacitors. On January 21, 2020, Xilinx filed its answer and counterclaims alleging infringement by ADI of eight patents related to digital to analog converters, serializing data paths, transceivers, networks on chip, termination circuits, and data transmitters. On April 3, 2020, Xilinx filed amended counterclaims.

Between July 17 and December 4, 2020, Xilinx filed nine IPR petitions challenging the patentability of seven ADI asserted patents. Between August 31 and September 15, 2020, ADI filed eight IPR petitions challenging eight Xilinx asserted patents. Between January 5 and March 15, 2021, the USPTO entered decisions granting institution of IPR on six ADI asserted patents. On June 10, 2021, the USPTO entered a decision denying institution of IPR on one ADI asserted patent. Between April 8 and May 7, 2021, the USPTO entered decisions granting institution of IPR on all eight Xilinx asserted patents. On May 8, 2020, Xilinx filed a motion to strike ADI’s affirmative defense of inequitable conduct, which the Court granted on February 9, 2021. On February 22, 2021, the Court issued an order staying the case until the issuance of the USPTO’s Final Written Decision on the last-instituted of the parties’ pending IPRs.

Between January 10 and March 11, 2022, the USPTO issued Final Written Decisions (FWDs) finding all challenged claims unpatentable in two ADI patents; finding some challenged claims unpatentable in three ADI patents and finding no challenged claims unpatentable in one ADI patent. Between April 1 and April 5, 2022, the USPTO issued three FWDs finding some challenged claims unpatentable in three Xilinx patents and finding no challenged claims unpatentable in one Xilinx patent. Between March 15, 2022 and April 11, 2022, ADI and the Company filed notices of appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit regarding adverse IPR decisions. On May 11, 2022, the Court continued the stay until July 14, 2022. Subsequently, the Court stayed the case until August 3, 2022.
