AMD Loses Three More Executives

It seems the corporate restructuring at AMD isn't yet over with the post-CES announcement yesterday of three more top-level executives leaving the company.

The biggest name losing the company is John Byrne, AMD's general manager of their Computing & Graphics Business, who previous to that worked as the AMD Chief Sales Officer.

The two others out of AMD now are Colette LaForce, AMD's Chief Marketing Officer, and Raj Naik, AMD's Chief Strategy Officer.

AMD didn't explicitly say these executives were canned but rather the standard line of leaving the company for other opportunities. This isn't too surprising given AMD's past shake-ups and in October AMD getting a new CEO along with laying off more employees.

Next week we'll hear how their Q4 results and hopefully about their plans for a better 2015.
