AMD Chairman and CEO Hector Ruiz acknowledged Thursday that 2007 was a bad year for his company, but that didn&#39;t stop AMD&#39;s board of directors from raising his salary anyway.&quot;We blew it and we&#39;re very humbled by it and we learned from it and we&#39;re not going to do it again,&quot; Ruiz told financial analysts in New York Thursday.AMD has struggled this year, largely due to technical problems that repeatedly&#160;delayed the widespread availability of its Quad-Core Opteron chip, known as Barcelona. As a result, the company saw its financial losses mount -- $1.6 billion during the first nine months of this year -- while incurring $3.7 billion dollars in long-term debt to help keep the company&#39;s operations running.The announcement Wednesday that&#160;AMD plans to take an as-yet unspecified charge for impaired goodwill from its $5.4 billion acquisition of ATI -- recognition that the graphics-chip vendor is worth less than AMD paid for it last year -- only added to the company&#39;s financial woes and dimmed investor enthusiasm for its stock. On Dec. 13, AMD&#39;s share price closed at $8.84, down 56.2 percent from one year ago.However, those issues will not affect Ruiz&#39;s base salary, which has been increased, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission released Thursday, the same day that Ruiz apologized for the company&#39;s dismal performance.That filing, which contained a copy of Ruiz&#39;s amended employment agreement , shows AMD raised his annual base salary by 7.4 percent to $1,124,000. The amended agreement was dated Dec. 7.In 2006, Ruiz received a base salary of $1,046,358, while stock awards and other forms of compensation raised his total compensation for the year to $12,848,435.Ruiz&#39;s 2006 compensation was significantly higher than Intel CEO and President Paul Otellini, who took home a salary of $700,000 in 2006. Other awards raised Otellini&#39;s total compensation in 2006 to $9,806,400.
