“2017 marked a key inflection point for AMD as we re-shaped our product portfolio, delivered 25 percent annual revenue growth, expanded gross margin and achieved full-year profitability," AMD CEO Dr Lisa Su said of the results.

"We are even more excited about 2018 as we launch our next wave of high-performance products and continue to position AMD as one of the premier long-term growth companies in the technology industry.”

Su also touched on AMD's response to the Spectre vulnerabilities. While the company's designs weren't affected to the extent of rival Intel, Su says her company has gone ahead and designed the Zen 2 line (believed to be arriving next year) to include mitigations for the vulnerability, though Su acknowledged the company could see a financial hit from the bugs.

"Security is and always has been a fundamental focus for AMD across all our products," Su said. "As new exploits arise we are dedicated to responding with speed and focus."

Unfortunately for Su, investors weren't as enthusiastic about AMD's outlook. Shortly after the results hit, AMD stock fell five per cent in after-hours trading. At the time of writing shares were still down 0.16 per cent at $12.85. ®
