AMD har meddelat att man ska omstrukturera sitt företag och i samband med detta slår man samman sina processor och grafikkortsavdelning under ett tak. Företaget kommer i framtiden att fokusera på fyra olika område, produkter, teknik, marknadsföring och kunder. Inom produktområdet ska numera både AMDs processorer och ATIs grafikkort finnas i ett enat AMD. Samtidigt har man meddelat att man ökat sin processormarknadsandel med 4 procentenheter till 20.9% under första kvartalet 2009, från 17% i sista kvartalet 2008. AMD verkar vara på rätt väg och kanske kan den företagets omstrukturering vara ännu ett framsteg.
