Forecast revenue for the June quarter is expected to be $8.1 billion.

The company’s operating expenses increased 35% year-over-year. On the positive side, demand for its graphics processors used for gaming and artificial intelligence helped support sales growth of 46% year-over-year. Nvidia’s data center business, which sells chips for cloud computing companies and enterprises, grew 83% annually to $3.75 billion.

Nvidia said its board has authorized an additional $15 billion in share buybacks through the end of next year.
