AMD obviously pinned a lot of hopes on Ryzen turning its fortunes around in the processor market, and indeed the new CPUs (introduced in the spring) have been selling strongly, playing a big part in ensuring a healthy financial report in the latest quarter (Q3).
Ryzen and Radeon (the firm’s CPUs and GPUs) drove the computing and graphics group to rake in revenues of $819 million (around £620 million, AU$1.05 billion), not too far off double the sales AMD managed in the same quarter last year ($472 million – that’s around £360 million, AU$610 million).
