Acquisition-related intangible amortization expense was $2.4 billion and $2.8 billion in fiscal year 2024 and 2023, respectively. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company determined that the fair value of certain IPR&D recorded within the Data Center segment was not recoverable resulting from actions related to the 2024 Restructuring Plan, and recorded an impairment charge of $58 million within Restructuring charges in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Based on the carrying value of acquisition-related intangibles recorded as of December 28, 2024, and assuming no subsequent impairment of the underlying assets, the estimated annual amortization expense for acquisition-related intangibles is expected to be as follows:
Fiscal Year (In millions)
2025 $ 2,225 
2026 2,111 
2027 1,993 
2028 1,885

2030 and thereafter 8,895
