AMD kom langt bedre ud af årets tredje kvartal end ventet. AMD endte med en omsætning på 1.69 milliarder USD og en nettoomsætning på 110 millioner USD.

AMDs forventninger var tidligere en omsætning på 1.65 milliarder USD og en nettoomsætning på kun 80 millioner USD.

AMD's new CEO Rory Read announced a strong 35%  increase in mobile business, with double digit growth in emerging markets like China and India. However, AMD's Q3 was marred by yield issues for Llano, being unable to meet the strong demand.

Looking forward to Q4, AMD expects a 3% ± 2% increase in revenue. AMD's shares rose by 5.05% in after hours shortly after the results were announced, and an immense 14% in the last 24 hours.
