AMD expects $1.5B in future revenue for three new gaming processors – but what are they?

During AMD’s Q1 2016 earnings call on Thursday, executives from AMD estimated a 15 percent revenue increase in Q2 2016, plus or minus 3 points, and they cited three semi-custom system-on-chip (SOC) “wins” as the “larger driver” for that revenue. AMD estimates that these SOCs will bring in $1.5 billion in revenue “over the next three or four years.” At least one of those three SOC deliveries will begin “ramping” in the second half of this year, with all of those SOCs launching by 2017.
