Earnings season continues to chug along, with an extensive list of companies reporting daily.
We’re well into the season now, but there still remains a large number of companies yet to report.
One such company, NVIDIA (NVDA - Free Report) , is slated to unveil quarterly results on Wednesday, February 22nd, after the market close.
NVIDIA is the worldwide leader in visual computing technologies and the inventor of the highly-successful graphic processing unit, or GPU.
How does the company stack up heading into the release? We can use results from a peer, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD - Free Report) , as a small gauge. Let’s take a closer look.
Advanced Micro Devices
AMD posted better-than-expected results, surpassing the Zacks Consensus EPS Estimate by more than 4% and reporting EPS of $0.69.
Quarterly revenue totaled $5.6 billion, exceeding our consensus estimate by roughly 1.6% and growing 17% year-over-year. Below is a chart illustrating the company’s revenue on a quarterly basis.

And to top it off, AMD ended the quarter with cash and equivalents of $5.9 billion, up 62% year-over-year.

Still, the company’s Data Center revenue was a focal point of the release. Data Center revenue totaled $1.7 billion for the quarter, growing 42% year-over-year on the back of strong sales of EPYC server processors.
