"The March quarter was an excellent quarter. For the second consecutive quarter, Xilinx revenues grew double digits sequentially with increased sales from all geographies and product families," said Wim Roelandts, Xilinx's chairman and chief executive officer.
"New products continued to gain significant momentum in the marketplace during the March quarter, with sales increasing 24% sequentially and representing 36% of total revenues, up from 23% a year ago. The Virtex(R)-II series, which includes Virtex-II and Virtex-II Pro(TM) FPGAs, increased nearly 25% sequentially, with Virtex-II-Pro sales more than doubling in the quarter. Additionally, Spartan-3 sales approached $2 million during the quarter, exceeding our expectations and extending the acceptance of programmable solutions in a broad range of digital consumer applications," said Roelandts.
In the March quarter, gross margin increased 290 basis points sequentially to 64.7%, up from 60.0% in the same quarter of the prior year and the highest gross margin the Company has reported in eight years. The Company's decision to rapidly migrate to 300mm wafers coupled with improved yields and product mix all contributed to the increased gross margin.
