AMD has confirmed that it’s laying off 4% of its workforce to focus on “large growth opportunities.” It’s unclear how many workers have been impacted by the reduction — and which divisions.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. is shedding about a thousand jobs as part of an effort to refocus on newer markets like artificial intelligence chips.
