In context

ices and announced a multiyear expansion of our back-end facilities in Malaysia. This expansion will help support the committed demand that will begin to convert to revenue in 2027. Turning to All Other. Revenue came in at $628 million and was up 9% sequentially due to a strong quarter for Mobileye. Collectively, the category delivered an operating profit of $102 million. Now turning to guidance. As we look ahead, we remain mindful that the macroeconomic and geopolitical environments are dynamic.

Our outlook for server CPU demand has improved over the last 90 days, and we expect a strong year of double-digit unit growth for the industry and for us, with momentum extending into 2027. Combining all of these factors, we are guiding Q2 to a range of $13.8 to $14.8 billion, up 2% to 9% sequentially. As we work hard to support the needs of all of our customers, we expect sequential revenue growth in both CCG and DCAI on improved supply and a full quarter of pricing actions, with DCAI up double digits. At the midpoint of $14.3 billion, we forecast a gross margin of 39%, a tax
