Chipmaker AMD's president has described his company's last few months as a 'Perfect Storm'.

Dirk Meyer said that AMD had been battered by  declining shipment numbers and a decrease in average selling prices.He said that the company intends to fix its damaged ship and sail straight through the remaining portion of what the firm calls a "perfect storm."
