The company said that the new units which came from buying the graphics firm have not been meeting expectations and, as a result, AMD plans to receive some $880 million in impairment charges related to the "intangible and goodwill" assets within the company.
For the fiscal quarter ending June 28th, AMD also plans to report a US$32 million hit related to employee severance pay and US$36 million from investments in Spansion and Auction Rate Securities.
However, the company also said that it expects a windfall of roughly US$190 million from the sale of its 200mm wafer fabrication tools.
