AMD just scored a new deal just days ago, which is a joint agreement with a chinese company to build x86 processors for the Chinese market, China is one of the largest growth areas in computing on the planet.
It means AMD will get some IP licensing deals which means regular revenue.

That is why their share price jumped, not the consoles.
Plus AMD's future positioning is looking fairly good thanks to Zen, Polaris and Vega, hopefully they can claw back marketshare.
AMD is also looking at re-entering the server market competitively, which is big bucks, bigger than what consoles would bring in.
