With rapid AMD Ryzen CPU sales, the company closed the quarter with an increased profit of 12%. Compared to the same quarter in 2017. This accounted for 938 million dollars. This is a respectable number. Keeping in mind that major break that AMD took and how long it has been since it was back in the CPU and GPU space.

This caused the share price of the company to fall by 9%. Luckily AMD Ryzen CPU sales should be able to cover all that up.
One of the fun facts is that more than 5 million AMD Ryzen CPUs have been sold to date. Which is a very impressive figure. AMD CEO Lisa Su further went on to mention the following:
