Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) saw its shares soar after the company unveiled its latest quarterly earnings results.

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.The company said it brought in adjusted earnings of 11 cents per share for its first quarter of fiscal 2018, topping the 9 cents per share in adjusted earnings that analysts polled by Bloomberg were calling for. Revenue was also strong at $1.65 billion, topping the $1.57 billion that the Wall Street consensus estimate called for, according to Bloomberg.

Advanced Micro Devices saw its revenue increase by 40% compared to the year-ago quarter, thanks in part to its Computing and Graphics Business Segment, which soared 95% year-over-year to $1.12 billion.  The company’s Enterprise, Embedded and Semi-Custom segment declined 12% compared to the year-ago quarter to $532 million, due in part to its semi-custom revenue falling.

We are excited about our long-term roadmaps and focused on delivering sustained revenue growth and profitability.”
