In the article the author writes:

"The semiconductor industry is marked by intense rivalries between individual companies. Experiencing fierce competition, Advanced Micro Devices has lost market share to Intel, and in the last few years was forced to weigh the price of its pride in owning the semiconductor fabricating plants, or fabs, which most other chip makers gave up long ago. Adding insult to injury, the company has also been hit by problems with its high-end personal computer and server Barcelona chip, and had bumps along the road after acquiring graphics chip maker ATI.”

Advanced Micro Devices recently announced it is splitting the company in two to cut costs:

“Determined to compete harder for market share, chip maker Advanced Micro Devices recently announced a broad plan to cut costs by spinning off its manufacturing operations to a new joint venture. Partnering with Abu Dhabi-based investment firms, AMD announced it will receive a cash injection of $6 billion into its two new divisions. According to AMD president and CEO Dirk Meyer, the deal will go down as the most important transaction in the history of AMD.”
