"AMD shipped more than 30 million APU's in 2011, resulting in record annual notebook revenue," said Rory Read, AMD president and CEO.

Our server business has re-gained momentum, delivering two consecutive quarters of strong sequential growth.
"We continued optimizing our financial model in 2011, consistently delivering operating income and creating the foundation for sustained success. We begin 2012 clear on our priorities and opportunities. We are building an AMD that consistently delivers on its commitments."

EDITOR'S NOTE:
Whilst overall hardly good news for AMD, they will be buoyed by strong revenue figures from their APU and integrated console lines. Discrete desktop and mobile platforms graphics will be a cause for concern, down 5% on the year following a lukewarm response to the 6000-series of graphics solutions; transitioning to 28nm before their chief rival and filtering that to mainstream audiences is obviously a priority. Bulldozer is the major fly in the ointment: it's been embraced in Opeteron form by Dell and HP, but is finding it difficult to compete with Intel's Sandy Bridge offerings.
