The plan, which also includes site consolidations, is expected to save the company approximately $20 million in the fourth quarter and $190 million in 2013. All layoffs are expected to be completed by year's end. "The PC industry is going through a period of very significant change that is impacting both the ecosystem and AMD," said CEO Rory Read. "It is clear that the trends we knew would re-shape the industry are happening at a much faster pace than we anticipated. As a result, we must accelerate our strategic initiatives to position AMD to take advantage of these shifts and put in place a lower cost business model. Our restructuring efforts are designed to simplify our product development cycles, reduce our breakeven point and enable us to fund differentiated product roadmaps and strategic breakaway opportunities." AMD posted revenue of $1.3 billion for the third quarter, down from $1.7 billion the prior year. http://www.amd.com http://www.amd.com/us/press-releases/Pages/press-release-2012oct18.aspx _____________________________________________ o Carbonite to Acquire Sunnyvale-Based Zmanda Sunnyvale, Calif. -- Carbonite, the Boston-based provider of online backup services, said on Thursday it will acquire Sunnyvale-based Zmanda, a developer of open source backup and disaster recovery tools for businesses.
