Whilst AMD should turn a profit in a qtr or two, am I the only one who is surprised they didn't make a profit this qtr?
They only made a profit in Q2 2016 as they divested part of the company:

Also a few things - Ryzen has only really hit volume for DIYer sales and custom PC companies. None of the larger concerns have started shipping larger volumes of Ryzen PCs.
Then in laptops,everything is either Jaguar or FX based,and in the desktop channel they still have plenty of FX CPUs to sell,and these even less competitive now,and in the UK street prices of these CPUs have gone down since Ryzen was released.
There also seems to be increases in R and D expenditure by $40 million this quarter,and apparently they reduced debt by $30 million.
