Advanced Micro Devices Inc. said it expects second-quarter revenue will be lower than its previous guidance, citing weak consumer PC demand.

The semiconductor company expects a sequential revenue decline of about 8%, compared with prior guidance of a 3% decline, plus or minus 3%.

The money-losing semiconductor maker has been shifting its focus recently, saying it would lose money through the first half of the year but return to profitability in the second half as it attempts to grab greater market share in select businesses where it believes it can make a profit.

Sunnyvale, Calif.-based AMD is the longtime second-fiddle in microprocessors to Intel Corp. The two companies use the same fundamental design, known as x86, that powers nearly all PCs.

In April, AMD said its first-quarter loss widened as its revenue slumped and the company said it would exit its defense-server systems business.
