Hardware manufacturer to lay off 1600 staff as it lowers Q1 2008 income by USD 100 million

Intel, Microsoft, Nvidia, AMD and other companies with a vested interested in keeping the PC alive as a gaming platform may be announcing a consortium dubbed the "PC Gaming Alliance."

AMD has announced that it has concluded a deal with Abu Dhabi-based Mubadala Development Company that will see it receive USD 622 million before costs in exchange for 49 million shares.

Intel could be set to speed up the manufacturing process of its latest chips to counter the release of AMD's new flagship product, the Quad-Core Opteron processor - previously codenamed Barcelona.
