"New product sales were exceptionally strong during the quarter increasing 18% sequentially, enabling Xilinx to reach the high-end of our sales guidance.  Both our 7-series and UltraScale families reached new sales records during the quarter, driven by a very broad base of end markets," said Moshe Gavrielov, Xilinx President and Chief Executive Officer.  "During the quarter we continued to execute on the delivery of our next-generation UltraScale+ family by launching public access development support for these families. This closely follows the first shipment of the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoc last quarter, which was ahead of schedule.  The capabilities of the UltraScale+ product family, coupled with its first-mover advantage, make it uniquely suited for applications ranging from next generation ADAS and Industrial Internet-of-Things to 5G wireless."
