“By the way, if you map it back to the z16 cycle, what happened in '22? Our TP revenue was flat. In '23, we grew high single digit. In '24, we grew double digit. Look at '25 right now, we're calling back to growth probably a quarter early compared to a historical cycle.”

And given the strong z17 where we've shipped over 100% more MIPS than the z16 cycle, actually feeling pretty good about that valuation opportunity moving forward. Olympia McNerney: Great.
