AMD’s woes are just not letting up. It was announced recently that the company’s Chief Technology Officer Phil Hester has resigned.
According to various reports, Hester issued his resignation effective immediately. Friday was his last day at work. Hester is just the third person to resign from AMD over the last year, this included Henri Richard, who was the head of Sales as well as Dave Orton, who haded the ATI Graphics division.
Hester’s responsibility will be divided among the various department heads, and at this moment there are no plans to fill the position he left.
Just last week AMD announced that it was going to let go of ten per cent of its workforce and also said that it is looking towards lower revenues that previously speculated.
