I guess that AMD needed to eventually do it sooner rather than later, or else they would be suffering even more losses. Although, im not quite sure if reshuffling resources and people will necessarily make them more profitable, or profitable at all for that matter.

GlobalFoundries recently summoned select journalists to fly to Malta, NY and discuss the future of this contracted foundry. Hot on the heels of that event, AMD announced a new operating model, bringing the company in line with new priorities. Gone are the days of "Real Men Have Fabs", AMD is now re-shaping its organization to focus on four critical functions: products, technology, marketing and customers.

This new structure puts additional focus on the upcoming merger between the CPU and GPU, the creation of SOC [System-On-Chip] product lines and the expansion of already existing business units. The AMD of tomorrow will be more focused on execution, instead of blaming the delays on Fabs and difficulties with manufacturing processes.
