AMD To Lay Off 4% of Workforce, or About 1,000 Employees

AMD has announced a 4% reduction in its global workforce, affecting around 1,040 of its 26,000 employees, as part of its strategy to compete in the AI chip market. This market is currently dominated by Nvidia, which holds over 80% market share.

AMD produces AI accelerators for data centers, including the MI300X, used by companies like Meta and Microsoft as an alternative to Nvidia-based systems. However, Nvidia's dominance is partly due to its development of core software used by AI engineers to create programs such as OpenAI's ChatGPT.
