Advanced Micro Devices merged its microprocessor and graphics chip businesses, its latest effort to adjust its structure and claw back market share lost to larger rival Intel.
The newly merged division will be spearheaded by graphics chip executive Rick Bergman.
The company also announced that Randy Allen, who was in charge of the pivotal business of producing chips for servers and workstation PCs, has left the company. The shake-up marks AMD latest move to revamp operations and better compete in the wake of its bungled introduction of the Barcelona chip in 2007. The chip was delayed for months due to a technical bug, causing AMD to give back hard-won market share to Intel.
