$Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$ projected lower-than-expected revenue in the first quarter, citing weakness in some of its core markets even as sales of artificial-intelligence chips grow.
$美国超微公司 (AMD.US)$ 预计第一季度收入将低于预期，理由是尽管人工智能芯片的销售增长，但其一些核心市场仍表现疲软。
AMD expects around $5.4 billion of sales in the current quarter, the company said, up from $5.35 billion the same period last year but behind Wall Street forecasts, according to FactSet.
FactSet表示，AMD预计本季度的销售额约为54亿美元，高于去年同期的53.5亿美元，但落后于华尔街的预期。
AMD's stock fell 6% in after-hours trading. The shares have more than doubled over the past 12 months.
AMD的股票在盘后交易中下跌了6％。在过去的12个月中，该股翻了一番多。
In addition to weaker sales of PC and videogaming chips, AMD said it was seeing a seasonal decline in sales of computer servers where its chips feature. That was being offset, however, by growing interest in the company's chips for artificial intelligence calculations, AMD said.
除了个人电脑和视频游戏芯片的销售疲软外，AMD还表示，其芯片所在的计算机服务器的销售出现季节性下降。但是，AMD表示，人们对该公司人工智能计算芯片的兴趣与日俱增，这被抵消了这一点。
AMD is the nearest rival to Nvidia in AI chips needed to create advanced systems like OpenAI's ChatGPT.
在创建诸如OpenAI的ChatGPT等高级系统所需的人工智能芯片方面，AMD是与英伟达最接近的竞争对手。
In addition to its first-quarter forecast, AMD said sales for the fourth quarter were $6.17 billion, up 10% from the year-ago period. Profits also climbed to $667 million from $21 million in the prior year. Those figures came in ahead of Wall Street forecasts.
除了第一季度的预测外，AMD还表示第四季度的销售额为61.7亿美元，比去年同期增长10％。利润也从去年的2100万美元攀升至6.67亿美元。这些数字超出了华尔街的预期。
