what it was checked against
gross margin figures and explanation
Gross margin for the three months ended June 27, 2026 was 54% compared to gross margin of 40% for the prior year period, a 14% increase primarily driven by the absence of inventory and related charges associated with the U.S. government export control on AMD Instinct MI308 Data Center GPU products that was recorded in the prior year period and a favorable product mix, including higher Data Center segment revenue.
