AMD may be considering splitting up its business
A

AMD has considered splitting its CPU business from its graphics and licensing business in the past, and while that obviously never happened, it looks like the company may be considering the decision once again. According to Reuters, the company is supposedly looking for a way to better devote its resources to competing with Intel, which could involve either splitting itself in two or spinning off part of its existing businesses into a separate company.  

AMD is allegedly looking to make some pretty big corporate changes as it works to find a way to better compete with arch-rival Intel. According to a new report from Reuters, citing anonymous sources, AMD is allegedly looking to either split its business in some capacity or spin-off part of its business so it can then devote more resources, and concentration, to stepping up against Intel. Though everything is allegedly in the preliminary stages, AMD is allegedly working with a consulting firm to figure out just how such a transition might work—as well, we presume, to identify the best parts of the business that could spin off into something new entirely. AMD, however, claims that no such split is in the works. “While we normally would not comment on such a matter, we can confirm that we have no such project in the works at this time. We remain committed to the long-term strategy we laid out for the company in May at our Financial Analyst Day,” a spokesperson told ExtremeTech. One example of a potential split—the only example said sources allegedly provided to Reuters—was that AMD might split its enterprise and CPU business from its graphics and licensing business. AMD had previously considered doing so, but didn’t; that option appears to be back on the table.
