The latest AMD job cuts follow the 2,000 positions that went last year at the loss-making company.
Last year, AMD's chip foundry operations were spun off into a separate company. The move included 3,000 staff, and none of these are affected by the latest cuts.
The latest AMD cost cuts come after bigger chip rival Intel announced a 90% slump in profits for the fourth quarter.
