SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3 (Xinhua) -- Computer chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) on Thursday said it plans to cut its global workforce2 by about 10 percent in a move to reduce operational costs.
The layoff3 will occur across all functions globally and is expected to be substantially completed by the end of the first quarter of 2012, the company said.
Combined with implementing5 efficiencies across the company's operations, AMD expected that the workforce reduction will result in operational savings6 of more than 200 million U.S. dollars in 2012.
"Reducing our cost structure and focusing our global workforce on key growth opportunities will strengthen AMD's competitiveness and allow us to aggressively pursue a balanced set of strategic activities designed to accelerate future growth," Rory Read, AMD's chief executive officer, said in a statement.
