AMD will be cutting approximately 4% of its global workforce, around 1,040 employees, in a strategic shift towards AI chips.
The company aims to focus its resources on the rapidly expanding AI chip market to challenge Nvidia's dominance.
AMD's workforce reduction is part of aligning operations with the largest growth opportunities in AI and meeting the increasing demand for AI technologies.
While facing challenges, AMD expects $5 billion in AI chip sales for 2024, representing about 20% of its projected total revenue.
