Advanced Micro Devices Inc AMD.O on Tuesday forecast fourth-quarter revenue above Wall Street expectations after the semiconductor designer announced a $35 billion deal to buy chipmaker Xilinx Inc XLNX.O. Shares of the company have been trading 4% lower since the announcement of the deal, which is AMD"s largest buyout as it battles Intel Corp INTC.O for a bigger share of the lucrative data center chips market. Once lagging Intel, AMD has been taking market share as its larger rival faces delays in building the smaller, faster 7-nanometer chip technology. AMD expects current-quarter revenue to be about $3 billion, plus or minus $100 million, compared with analysts’ average estimate of $2.63 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv. Total revenue jumped 56% to $2.80 billion in the third quarter ended Sept. 26, above analysts’ expectations of $2.57 billion.
