sequential growth. The sequential revenue increase of USD13.5bn was a new record.

Data centre revenue reached USD75.2bn versus USD73.2bn consensus, rising 21% QOQ. Under the new reporting structure,

Hyperscale generated USD37.9bn (+12% QOQ) while ACIE delivered USD37.4bn (+31% QOQ), with AI cloud revenue more than
