AMD layoffs coming too

NOT WANTING TO be left out by the recent Intel job cuts, DAAMIT is going to do the same, but on a much smaller scale. If AMD cut 10,500 people, well the halls in Austin and Sunnyvale would be pretty empty, a workforce of 7 would have a lot to do on a per capita basis.

In any case, there are strong rumors of cuts in the merged DAAMIT organization, but things are a little hazy. Some are saying around 1000 from each side of the organization, give or take a bit will be gone, but this seems awfully high to us.

There are no specifics on what is going, but there are some obvious redundancies, especially on the non-technical side of things. In any case, the cuts are slated for announcements in mid-November.
