We've confirmed that AMD layoffs will happen instantly for all the employees that are on the black list and that the Austin, Texas office is going to suffer the most.

There will be very few people that will have to go from the Canadian and European offices, mainly as AMD wants to make the labor cuts on the CPU side of the business.

Graphics and chipsets businesses are in good shape and there will be minimal cuts in this field. Graphics and chipsets are doing well for AMD.

Unfortunately, many people from the Austin office will have to be let go and this will be announced within the next two weeks.
