Advanced Micro Devices on Wednesday announced it was consolidating the operations of disparate business units in the company.

The intent behind the restructuring is to bring its microprocessor and graphics technologies under one roof for future integration in systems and chips, said Drew Prairie, an AMD spokesman.

Merging the CPU and graphics units brings more operational efficiency than when the units operated separately, Prairie said. The new structure aligns product teams and creates clear lines of leadership across the technology development and sales and marketing teams, Prairie said. No layoffs are happening as a result of the restructuring, Prairie said.
