  • IOTG operating income was down 4% year-over-year due to lower benefits from inventory reserves and a mix shift to lower-margin products.

    IOTG 營業收入同比下降 4%,原因是庫存儲備收益減少以及向低利潤率產品的混合轉變。

  • Mobileye revenue and operating income were up year-over-year, 20% and 29%, respectively, on continued ADAS penetration and new program launches.

    由於 ADAS 的持續滲透和新項目的推出,Mobileye 的收入和營業收入分別同比增長 20% 和 29%。

  • PC unit volumes were down 10% versus Q3 '18 where we benefited from drawing down internal inventory to satisfy demand.

    與 18 年第三季度相比,PC 單位銷量下降了 10%,我們從減少內部庫存以滿足需求中受益。

  • We continue to be supply-constrained in Q3, particularly at the value end of the market as higher-than-expected PC demand strength continues to outpace our supply despite the capacity additions that Bob discussed earlier.

    我們在第三季度繼續受到供應限制,特別是在市場價值端,因為高於預期的 PC 需求強度繼續超過我們的供應,儘管 Bob 之前討論了產能增加。

  • Adjacencies grew 10% year-over-year driven by strong demand for modems and connectivity solutions.

    由於對調製解調器和連接解決方案的強勁需求,鄰接量同比增長 10%。

    由於我們強勁的第三季度運營業績和進入第四季度的勢頭,我們將 2019 年的收入前景提高了 15 億美元,達到 710 億美元。

  • We expect revenue from our data-centric businesses to be flat to slightly up for the full year and expect our PC-centric business to be flat to slightly down, both improving versus prior guidance.

    我們預計,我們以數據為中心的業務全年收入將持平或略有上升,並預計我們以 PC 為中心的業務將持平或略有下降,與之前的指引相比都有所改善。

  • Operating margin for the year is expected to be approximately 32.5%, up 0.5 points from our prior guide.

  • I guess a question on the data center side.

    我猜是數據中心方面的一個問題。

  • It's just -- to clear up the numbers, it looks like you're suggesting DCG up maybe 5% year-on-year.

    只是——為了澄清數字,看起來你建議 DCG 可能同比增長 5%。

  • So can you speak to the accuracy of that?

    那麼你能說一下它的準確性嗎?

  • And then, I guess, bigger picture, the comms service provider side, clearly, a very large source of strength for you guys, up 11% year-on-year and now representing more than 40% of the mix.

    然後,我想,從更大的角度來看,通信服務提供商方面顯然是你們的一個非常大的力量來源,同比增長 11%,現在佔組合的 40% 以上。

  • So curious if you can kind of speak to the most important drivers of that business and how you're thinking about growth over the next 1, 2, 3 years?

    很好奇您能否談談該業務最重要的驅動因素,以及您如何看待未來 1、2、3 年的增長?

  • Robert H. Swan - CEO & Director

    Robert H. Swan - CEO & Director

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • Thanks, C.J. First, we gave a DC-centric guide of 6% to 8%.

    謝謝,C.J. 首先,我們給出了 6% 到 8% 的以 DC 為中心的指南。

  • And yes, I would -- we didn't give DCG specifically, but I would say it's a little bit lower than our 6% to 8% data center growth, so you're in the ballpark.

    是的,我會 - 我們沒有特別提供 DCG,但我會說它比我們 6% 到 8% 的數據中心增長略低,所以你在球場上。

  • On comms service, the comms -- this has been an extremely important aspect of the business for a number of years now where we've seen the programmability at the networks with NFV and software-defined networks an opportunity for us to migrate the networking environment to IA architecture.

    在通信服務方面,通信 - 多年來,這一直是業務的一個極其重要的方面,我們已經看到具有 NFV 和軟件定義網絡的網絡的可編程性為我們遷移網絡環境提供了機會到 IA 架構。

  • So we've been doing this for a number of years.

    所以我們已經做了很多年了。

  • It's been a fulsome growth for us over time.

    隨著時間的推移,這對我們來說是一個充實的成長。

  • And in the quarter, the 11% growth was significant in and of itself, but remember, last year's third quarter was also up in the mid- to high 20s.

    在本季度,11% 的增長本身就很顯著,但請記住,去年的第三季度也在 20 多歲的中高點上升。

  • So we continue to make good -- great progress.

    所以我們繼續取得良好的進展。

  • What we see going forward in this business is really a big opportunity in 5G.

    我們在這項業務中看到的未來確實是 5G 的一個巨大機遇。

  • So next year, you're going to see -- our good progress has been on 3G and 4G.

    所以明年,你會看到——我們在 3G 和 4G 方面取得了良好的進展。

  • Next year, we see real design wins that we've achieved, real growth as we go into that 5G world where we continue to see what we characterize as cloudification the network, more and more compute moving from the cloud and data centers out to a network and Edge.

    明年,隨著我們進入 5G 世界,我們將看到我們已經取得的真正設計勝利、真正的增長,我們將繼續看到我們描述為網絡雲化的特徵,越來越多的計算從雲和數據中心轉移到網絡和邊緣。

  • And that's been an opportunity for us that we've been investing in over the past, and we expect to be a big source of growth for us going forward.

    這對我們來說是一個機會,我們過去一直在投資,我們希望成為我們未來增長的重要來源。

  • I want to stick with DCG, Bob.

    我想堅持 DCG,鮑勃。

  • If you look, impressive, but ASPs were up 9% year-over-year, especially as the mix shifted towards the comms business, which I believe tends to be lower ASPs.

    如果你看起來,令人印象深刻,但 ASP 同比增長 9%,尤其是當組合轉向通信業務時,我認為這往往是較低的 ASP。

  • It's also happening in the quarter where you're seeing your competitor ramping their next-generation chips.

    這也發生在你看到你的競爭對手正在增加他們的下一代芯片的那個季度。

  • So I guess I'm trying to understand what's the power of the Xeon Scalable upgrade cycle you referred to in your prepared comments?

  • Okay.

    好的。

  • So first, I'd say in our -- obviously, we're well into Skylake, but the transition now is into Cascade Lake, and that's a higher performance SKU.

    所以首先,我會在我們的 - 顯然,我們已經進入 Skylake,但現在過渡到 Cascade Lake,這是一個更高性能的 SKU。

  • In the quarter, the high ASPs were really driven by particularly cloud customers really moving to the highest end product within the Cascade Lake family.

    在本季度,高 ASP 真正受到雲客戶的推動,這些客戶真正轉向 Cascade Lake 家族中的最高端產品。

  • So we're seeing the transition from Skylake to Cascade Lake, and within Cascade Lake, real high-performance SKU that's our highest performance ASP.

    因此,我們看到了從 Skylake 到 Cascade Lake 的過渡,在 Cascade Lake 中,真正的高性能 SKU 是我們性能最高的 ASP。

  • So that mix dynamic in Q3, I don't expect that to stay where it is.

    所以第三季度的混合動力,我不希望它保持現狀。

  • I think we'll go to more of a balance as we're into Q4 next year.

    我認為我們將在明年進入第四季度時更加平衡。

  • In terms of competitive dynamics, I would just say that we got a great lineup of products.

    就競爭動態而言,我只想說我們擁有豐富的產品陣容。

  • We got Skylake to Cascade Lake.

    我們將 Skylake 帶到 Cascade Lake。

  • First half to next year, we're looking at Cooper Lake.

    上半年到明年,我們正在關注庫珀湖。

  • As we talked before, we're really excited about Ice Lake server coming out in the second half of next year.

    正如我們之前所說,我們對明年下半年推出的 Ice Lake 服務器感到非常興奮。

  • And we realize it will be a more competitive environment, and we've tried to capture that in essence in how we think about 2020 for both demand equation but also the margins that we've flagged a little bit on the -- on our Q2 call back at Analyst Day, I think.

    我們意識到這將是一個更具競爭性的環境,我們試圖在我們對 2020 年的需求方程以及我們在第二季度標記的利潤率方面從本質上捕捉到這一點我想,在分析師日回電。

  • So good quarter, good momentum first half to second half; high performance SKUs driving real high ASPs even though, you're right, that the ASPs with comms have a tendency to be a little bit lower.

    這麼好的季度,上半年到下半年勢頭良好;高性能 SKU 推動了真正的高 ASP,儘管您是對的,帶有通信的 ASP 往往會稍微低一些。

    Joseph Lawrence Moore - Executive Director

  • I wonder if you could talk to the shortages a little bit more and, I guess, in the context of how much you said you brought 14-nanometer capacity up.

    我想知道你是否可以多談談短缺問題,我想,在你說你提高了 14 納米容量的背景下。

  • And I realize demand is better, but it seems like it's a few points better, and yet the shortages are intensifying.

    我意識到需求更好,但似乎好一點,但短缺正在加劇。

  • Can you just talk a little bit about that?

    你能談談這個嗎?

  • And when do you think we'll be in a position where you don't have those tensions in your business anymore?

    你認為我們什麼時候會在你的業務中不再有這些緊張局勢?

  • Robert H. Swan - CEO & Director

    Robert H. Swan - CEO & Director

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • Thanks, Joe.

    謝謝,喬。

  • First, just kind of try to put it in to context.

    首先,試著把它放在上下文中。

  • Over the course of the last 3 years, I guess, we've grown the business by about 20%, so $13 billion in revenue over the last 3 years.

    我猜,在過去的 3 年裡,我們的業務增長了大約 20%,因此過去 3 年的收入達到了 130 億美元。

  • And the practical reality is we didn't anticipate that kind of explosive growth 3 years ago.

    而現實情況是,我們在 3 年前並沒有預料到這種爆炸性的增長。

  • So we didn't have the capacity in place to deal with it.

    所以我們沒有足夠的能力來處理它。

  • We've been working our tails off for the last 12 months to ensure for our customers that we wouldn't be a constraint on their growth.

    在過去的 12 個月裡,我們一直在努力工作,以確保我們的客戶不會成為他們成長的製約因素。

  • From the last 2 years, I think, as you know, we've spent over $30 billion in CapEx to both have more capacity for 14 while we also begin to ramp 10.

    如您所知,我認為從過去 2 年開始,我們已經在資本支出上花費了超過 300 億美元,以增加 14 個容量,同時我們也開始增加 10 個容量。

  • In my prepared comments, I said we added 25% wafer start capacity 2018 to 2019.

    在我準備好的評論中,我說我們從 2018 年到 2019 年增加了 25% 的晶圓開工產能。

  • Our first half to second half unit volume will be up double digit, so we're making good progress throughout the course of the year, but our expectations were in the second half we will be back in a supply/demand equilibrium.

    我們上半年到下半年的單位數量將增長兩位數,因此我們在整個一年中都取得了良好的進展,但我們的預期是在下半年我們將回到供需平衡狀態。

  • And the fact of the matter is we're not there because the demand profile that's resulting in our $1.5 billion higher revenue is just higher than we had anticipated.

    事實是我們不在那裡,因為導致我們收入增加 15 億美元的需求狀況剛好比我們預期的要高。

  • So we have more work to do to meet our customers' demands in the fourth quarter and going into '20.

    因此,我們還有更多工作要做,以滿足客戶在第四季度和進入 20 年的需求。

  • As we see fourth quarter, we're still going to be constrained in our customers' growth, which is absolutely where we do not want to be, but with the higher demand, we will be constraining the growth in the fourth quarter.

    正如我們在第四季度看到的那樣,我們仍然會受到客戶增長的限制,這絕對是我們不希望的,但隨著需求的增加,我們將限制第四季度的增長。

  • But as we go into 2020, our expectations are we'll add another 25% capacity both for 14 and 10 and that we will have -- particularly for PC Client, we expect to be able to do mid- to high single-digit unit volume growth next year.

    但是隨著我們進入 2020 年,我們的期望是我們將為 14 和 10 再增加 25% 的容量,並且我們將擁有 - 特別是對於 PC 客戶端,我們希望能夠實現中高個位數的單位明年銷量增長。

  • And that -- we don't expect the market to grow that fast, but we got to have just more inventory buffers so we're there when our customers need us.

    而且——我們預計市場不會增長得那麼快,但我們必須有更多的庫存緩衝,所以當我們的客戶需要我們時,我們就在那裡。

  • So Q4 will be a little challenging, and in 2020, we expect to be able to rectify things.

    所以 Q4 會有點挑戰,2020 年,我們希望能夠改正。

    Bob,我想回顧一下你所說的優先級和節奏,在這裡將其恢復為 2、2.5。

  • Is that -- because my understanding is that they were just simply laws of physics that were causing the cadence to stretch out.

    那是 - 因為我的理解是它們只是導致節奏延長的物理定律。

  • So what problems have the engineers and the process folks solved out there?

    那麼工程師和流程人員解決了哪些問題呢?

  • Last -- back in our Analyst Day, we tried to go through this in quite a bit of detail, both, one, kind of our lessons learned coming out of the challenges we had with 10 and how we're capturing those lessons learned as we think about the next 2 generations.

    最後 - 回到我們的分析師日,我們試圖詳細介紹這一點,一方面,我們從 10 所面臨的挑戰中吸取的經驗教訓,以及我們如何將這些經驗教訓作為我們考慮下 2 代人。

  • But first, our focus and energy is, right now, we're on scaling 10.

    但首先,我們的重點和精力是,現在,我們正在擴展 10。

  • And as we said, we feel very good about the capacity we put in place, the products we have coming down the pipeline and the yields that we're achieving, almost week-on-week improvement over the last 6 months.

    正如我們所說,我們對我們的產能、即將生產的產品以及我們正在實現的產量感到非常滿意,過去 6 個月幾乎每週都在改善。

  • So for 10, we feel really good.

    所以對於10,我們感覺非常好。

  • Second, we -- when we put the design rules in for 7-nanometer, we were less aggressive in terms of density.

    其次,當我們為 7 納米製定設計規則時,我們在密度方面沒有那麼激進。

  • Our learning from going from 14 to 10 is -- with the benefit of hindsight, we were just -- we tried to scale at a 2.7 factor, and that was -- that ended up putting too much indention or revolutionary nodes into the fab environment to meet those kind of hurdles.

    我們從 14 到 10 的學習是——事後看來,我們只是——我們試圖以 2.7 倍進行擴展,那是——最終在晶圓廠環境中投入了太多的縮進或革命性節點來應對這些障礙。

  • And the learning from that is we just can't hit those kind of really aggressive targets when, to your point, the dynamics are getting increasingly challenging, so lots of learnings out of 10.

    從中吸取的教訓是,當動態變得越來越具有挑戰性時,我們就是無法達到那些真正激進的目標,所以十個中有很多學習。

  • Our transition to 10 that we incorporated into 7, the design rules, there's less complexity.

    我們過渡到 10 並合併到 7 中,即設計規則,複雜性更低。

  • And for the last couple years, we've been working with EUV.

    在過去的幾年裡,我們一直在使用 EUV。

  • Litho has been the challenge.

    Litho一直是挑戰。

  • We've had EUV that we've been working with for a few years now.

    我們已經使用了幾年的 EUV。

  • And we expect to use EUV as we scale 7. And we indicated that our first product will be 2 years from this quarter, so fourth quarter of 2021, our first 7-nanometer product will come out.

    我們預計在 7 倍規模時使用 EUV。我們表示,我們的第一款產品將在本季度後 2 年,因此 2021 年第四季度,我們的第一款 7 納米產品將問世。

  • And our expectation is we'll get back on a 2-year cadence in 7 and beyond.

    我們的期望是,我們將在 7 歲及以後恢復 2 年的節奏。

  • So lots of learnings out of 10-nanometer that we've incorporated.

    我們已經整合了很多關於 10 納米的知識。

  • And we said back in May and we reiterated today, we expect to be back to a 2- to 2.5-year cadence going forward, at least for the next few nodes.

    我們早在 5 月就說過,今天我們重申,我們預計未來會回到 2 到 2.5 年的節奏,至少在接下來的幾個節點上是這樣。

  • So my question is really about your competitive landscape.

    所以我的問題實際上是關於你的競爭格局。

  • So your main competitor [indicate 86] ecosystem has produced in the last 10 months or 9 (technical difficulty) that's why it's not even impressive in the data center and also (technical difficulty).

    因此,您的主要競爭對手 [indicate 86] 生態系統在過去 10 個月或 9 個月(技術難度)中產生了成果,這就是為什麼它在數據中心和(技術難度)中甚至都不令人印象深刻的原因。

  • And so my question is what's your perception on the evolution of your competitive landscape in the last 3 months?

    所以我的問題是,您對過去 3 個月內競爭格局的演變有何看法?

  • Are things [being mainly] in line with what you had in mind and what you are expecting when we spoke over the summer?

    事情[主要]是否符合你的想法以及我們在夏天談話時的預期?

  • And then how much of like the footprint you have in the data-centric you think you can produce competition with that in mind?

    然後你認為你在以數據為中心的足蹟有多少可以在考慮到這一點的情況下產生競爭?

  • And I'll -- maybe I'll jump in on the PC because I think the year-over-year compare in Q3 is -- could be causing some concern.

    而且我會 - 也許我會加入 PC,因為我認為第三季度的同比比較是 - 可能會引起一些擔憂。

  • Just a reminder, in Q3 of last year, we had basically drawn down more than 1.5 weeks of inventory that -- which went into the channel.

    提醒一下,在去年第三季度,我們基本上已經提取了超過 1.5 週的庫存——這些庫存進入了渠道。

  • And so when you do compares year-over-year on Q3, PC looks a little bit light on demand.

    因此,當您在第三季度進行同比比較時,PC 的需求看起來有點少。

  • Really, as we look over the last 90 days, we haven't seen any difference in our view of the competitive dynamics.

    確實,當我們回顧過去 90 天時,我們對競爭動態的看法沒有任何不同。

  • We are clearly being impacted significantly on the value end of the market, which is a supply issue for us.

    我們顯然受到市場價值端的重大影響,這對我們來說是一個供應問題。

  • It's one of the reasons why we're building volume capacity -- continuing to build volume capacity into 2020 because we think it gives us an opportunity to compete for those units again next year.

    這也是我們建設容量的原因之一——繼續建設容量到 2020 年,因為我們認為這讓我們有機會在明年再次競爭這些單位。

  • And in that world, we just raised our full year outlook by $1.5 billion and increased our operating margin.

    在那個世界上,我們剛剛將全年展望提高了 15 億美元,並提高了我們的營業利潤率。

  • So yes, I think, competitively, nothing's really changed in the last 3, 6, 9 months relative to what we expected, and our -- the only thing that's really changed is our performance.

    所以是的,我認為,在競爭中,過去 3、6、9 個月相對於我們的預期並沒有真正改變,而我們——唯一真正改變的是我們的表現。

  • But we do know that, going into next year, that our role is to dramatically expand the role we play in our customers' success.

    但我們確實知道,進入明年,我們的角色是顯著擴大我們在客戶成功中所扮演的角色。

  • So we're expanding the product, the architectures, the packaging technologies, the process capabilities and the software that we build so we can continue to deliver better and better product performance for our customers.

    因此,我們正在擴展我們構建的產品、架構、封裝技術、流程能力和軟件,以便我們能夠繼續為我們的客戶提供越來越好的產品性能。

  • And I'd just say that we feel really good about where we are, but we're not complacent by any means in terms of an increased competitive environment as we go into 2020.

    我只想說,我們對自己所處的位置感覺非常好,但我們不會因進入 2020 年競爭環境的加劇而自滿。

    我想知道你能否告訴我們,在本季度,在 DCG 的企業、雲和通信業務中,這些業務中有多少是由中國驅動的?

  • And given the 200-millimeter -- $200 million pull-forward across enterprise and cloud that you mentioned -- enterprise and comm that you mentioned, was that beating enterprise relative to your expectations more or less than $200 million?

    考慮到 200 毫米——你提到的跨企業和雲的 2 億美元的拉動——你提到的企業和通信,相對於你的預期,擊敗企業是多於還是少於 2 億美元?

  • Look, I think in terms of the makeup of the business, for data center, you got roughly 2/3 is cloud and comms and roughly 1/3 is enterprise and government.

    看,我認為就業務構成而言,對於數據中心,大約 2/3 是雲和通信,大約 1/3 是企業和政府。

  • So that, as you know, has changed dramatically over the years as we've continued to grow our presence in the cloud, and as I mentioned earlier to Joe's question, I think, gained share in comms.

    因此,如您所知,隨著我們在雲中的影響力不斷擴大,這些年來發生了巨大的變化,正如我之前提到的喬的問題,我認為,在通信中獲得了份額。

  • So now we're in kind of 2/3, 1/3 state.

    所以現在我們處於 2/3、1/3 的狀態。

  • And enterprise and government was -- across the board in DCG in the quarter, the strength was much higher than we anticipated back in July.

    企業和政府 - 本季度 DCG 的整體實力遠高於我們在 7 月份的預期。

  • We had a first half to second half acceleration, but the acceleration was just more than we expected.

    我們有上半場到下半場的加速,但加速超出了我們的預期。

  • And yes, I would say we saw strength across the board.

    是的,我想說我們看到了全面的實力。

  • But as we look at the E&G growth in particular, we're trying to determine what is kind of -- what has the tendency to like pull in versus what can we count on as we project things forward.

    但是,當我們特別關注 E&G 的增長時,我們正試圖確定什麼是 - 什麼是傾向於拉入的,什麼是我們在預測事情時可以指望的。

  • And our best guess on our stronger performance is that the $1.2 billion that we are over, roughly $200 million of that was particularly related to enterprise and government than particularly related to China.

    我們對我們更強勁表現的最佳猜測是,我們超過了 12 億美元,其中大約 2 億美元與企業和政府特別相關,而不是與中國特別相關。

  • So intently focused on 10 now and 7 for the product you mentioned in the fourth quarter.

    實際上,就 2020 年而言,我在上次電話會議上的描述沒有重大變化,我們談論的是第四季度 58% 的前景和 2021 年 57% 的前景。

  • And the question was, well, should that -- is there -- are those good proxies for 2020?

    問題是,嗯,是否應該 - 是否存在 - 2020 年那些好的代理?

  • And my point was we think we'll be closer to 60% than to those numbers.

    我的觀點是,我們認為我們將比這些數字更接近 60%。

  • But if you want to think about tailwinds and headwinds going into 2020 that we looked at as we think about that number, so tailwinds will be, obviously, we're going to have lower modem in the mix next year.

    但是,如果您想考慮進入 2020 年的順風和逆風,我們在考慮這個數字時會看到順風,那麼順風很明顯,明年我們將在組合中使用較低的調製解調器。

  • Memory is starting to come out of that deep-down ASP period, and we think volumes are going to be up as we get a little better supply and demand situation.

    內存開始走出深陷的 ASP 時期,我們認為隨著供需形勢好轉,銷量將會上升。

  • The headwinds that we're very mindful of is, obviously, 10-nanometer ramping is -- can be a little bit of a headwind on margins and also competitive impact on ASP.

    顯然,我們非常注意的不利因素是 10 納米的爬坡是 - 可能對利潤率以及對 ASP 的競爭影響有點不利。

  • So those are the things that we'll continue to look at.

  • In all the complexity and all the moving parts, George kind of flagged -- what I'd characterize the 4 things that we're really dialing in on.

    在所有的複雜性和所有移動的部分中,喬治有點標記 - 我會描述我們真正撥入的 4 件事。

  • One, going into next year, mix is going to be better because our modem volume will be lower and our NSG profitability will be better.

    一,進入明年,混合會更好,因為我們的調製解調器數量會更低,我們的 NSG 盈利能力會更好。

  • So mix is going to have a -- mix has been a drag on 2019's gross margin, and it will be a big contributor as we go into 2020.

    因此,混合將有一個 - 混合一直拖累 2019 年的毛利率,並且隨著我們進入 2020 年,它將成為一個重要貢獻者。

  • And secondly, on the first half of 2019, we had a lot of the on [O] costs, your cost of sales related to pre-PRQ 10-nanometer product.

    其次,在 2019 年上半年,我們有很多 [O] 成本,即與 PRQ 之前的 10 納米產品相關的銷售成本。

  • So that will not repeat itself.

    這樣就不會重演了。

  • So those 2 things are good, favorable things.

    所以這兩件事是好的,有利的事情。

  • The third thing is just -- George flagged this, I'd just simplify this node transition.

    第三件事就是——喬治標記了這一點,我只是簡化了這個節點轉換。

  • And for us, node transition next year is going to be -- 14-nanometer will be a little better in terms of its profitability.

    對我們來說,明年的節點過渡將是——就其盈利能力而言,14 納米會好一些。

  • Yields won't be dramatically different because we're extremely mature, but depreciation levels will be lower because a lot of these tools have been fully depreciated there because we've been on that node for so long.

    收益不會有顯著差異,因為我們非常成熟,但折舊水平會更低,因為很多這些工具已經在那裡完全折舊,因為我們已經在那個節點上呆了很長時間。

  • But for the node transition, 14 will be a little bit better.

    但是對於節點過渡來說,14 會好一點。

  • Our expectation is 10-nanometer yields will continue to improve, but at the same time, the mix of 10 versus 14 will be a little bit of a wait.

    我們的預期是 10 納米的良率將繼續提高,但與此同時,10 與 14 的混合將有點等待。

  • So node transition will work against us.

    所以節點轉換將對我們不利。

  • And we also -- we've tried to, as best we can, take into account competitive dynamics as we exit this year and go into next year.

    而且我們還 - 我們已經盡力在今年退出並進入明年時考慮到競爭動態。

  • In our quest to play a bigger role in our customers' success, we're going to compete to protect our position and expand the role we play.

    為了在客戶的成功中發揮更大的作用,我們將通過競爭來保護我們的地位並擴大我們所扮演的角色。

  • So those are the 4 things and lots of complexity and lots of moving parts, but we -- a year ago, we dialed in 2019 pretty well.

    所以這些是 4 件事,很多複雜性和很多活動部件,但我們 - 一年前,我們在 2019 年打得很好。

  • And given that, what I indicated is we expect to increase capacity by 25% next year, which is the same kind of level that we did this year.

    鑑於此,我表示我們預計明年的產能將增加 25%,這與我們今年的水平相同。

  • We expect to do that again.

    我們希望再次這樣做。

  • So we believe that data center, we've been in pretty decent shape.

    所以我們相信數據中心,我們一直處於相當不錯的狀態。

  • But for client, we just want to get to mid-single-digit kind of unit output -- mid- to high single-digit unit output so, one, we can meet what we expect customer demand profiles to be but also so we can rebuild buffer levels of inventory so we can deal with these peaks, et cetera.

    但是對於客戶來說,我們只想達到中個位數的單位產量——中高個位數的單位產量,所以,一,我們可以滿足我們期望的客戶需求概況,而且我們可以重建庫存的緩沖水平,以便我們能夠應對這些高峰,等等。

  • So we're trying to put the capacity in place, but we think we'll meet the customer demand and try to give us the inventory buffer that has been depleted over the course of the last 9 months or so.

    因此,我們正在努力提高產能,但我們認為我們會滿足客戶的需求,並努力為我們提供在過去 9 個月左右的時間裡已經耗盡的庫存緩衝。

  • In terms of capital, I would just say we'll probably give you more detail on that come January, but George kind of laid out back in May a multiyear view of capital.

    我只想補充一件事來提醒大家,在 2019 年,我們做出了重大轉變,從在內存領域投資資金轉向將資金轉移到擴大我們的 10 納米和一些 14 納米。

  • We continue to add capacity in 14-nanometer and began adding capacity at 7-nanometer as well.

    我們繼續增加 14 納米的容量,並開始增加 7 納米的容量。

  • So we're very focused on getting the capacity in place that will allow us to take the word shortage out of our quarterly discussions.

    我認為趨勢——我們看到的宏觀趨勢根本沒有消退,那就是對創建數據的貪得無厭的胃口,以及計算、處理、存儲、移動、使數據更相關的需求。

  • Those macro trends have been very attractive for the long -- for a while, and we expect those to continue.

    長期以來,這些宏觀趨勢一直非常有吸引力——有一段時間,我們預計這些趨勢將繼續下去。

  • But to your point, the -- our experience with the cloud providers is they go through big buying cycles and then relatively long digestion periods.

    但就您而言,我們與雲提供商的經驗是他們經歷了大的購買週期,然後是相對較長的消化期。

  • What we did experience last year was a gangbuster year, but it's been 3 quarters coming into the third quarter where they went through digestions.

    我們去年所經歷的經歷是轟轟烈烈的一年,但進入第三季度已經有 3 個季度經歷了消化。

  • And what we started to see in the third quarter was, particularly for high-performance compute, start to see them come back into the market to really begin to purchase a little bit more.

    我們在第三季度開始看到的是,特別是對於高性能計算,開始看到它們重新進入市場並真正開始購買更多。

  • So how long that cycle lasts is going to be a function of several variables, but their end demand seems to continue to be relatively strong.

    因此,該週期持續多長時間將取決於幾個變量,但它們的最終需求似乎仍然相對強勁。

  • And therefore, the need to add capacity, we think, will follow their end demand given they've been out of the market a little bit for about 3 quarters now up 'til Q3.

    因此,我們認為,增加產能的需求將跟隨他們的最終需求,因為他們已經退出市場大約 3 個季度,直到第三季度。
