國際電子商情訊，AMD計劃將位于美國得克薩斯州奧斯汀的園區(qū)出售，計劃定價1.5億美元至2億美元，以籌集現(xiàn)金。 AMD發(fā)言人德魯·普萊利(Drew Prairie)周二在接受采訪表示，公司計劃將58英畝的奧斯汀園區(qū)以1.5億美元至2億美元的價格出售，預(yù)計將在明年第二季度完成這一交易。當(dāng)?shù)孛襟w《奧斯汀美國政治家日報》此前就曝光了AMD打算出售園區(qū)的消息。目前，由于PC銷量增長放緩，AMD和更大的競爭對手英特爾都處境不佳。 由于iPad和其他平板電腦日益受歡迎，PC市場的需求近年來十分萎靡。隨著中國經(jīng)濟(jì)增長放緩、歐洲經(jīng)濟(jì)持續(xù)低迷以及美國經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇乏力，今年P(guān)C全球出貨量預(yù)計會微跌，這將是2001年以來的第一次。作為硅谷老牌芯片廠商，AMD近來一直在裁員，同時尋找新的市場突破口，以應(yīng)對現(xiàn)金儲備大幅減少的局面。 知情人士透露，AMD已聘請摩根大通來評估新的戰(zhàn)略選擇，雖然完全出售并不是AMD的首選。同英特爾一樣，AMD近年來也因移動設(shè)備的快速增長而裹足不前。由于AMD不斷“燒錢”，分析師對該公司未來的流動性越來越擔(dān)憂。他們認(rèn)為AMD必須盡早對業(yè)務(wù)進(jìn)行調(diào)整。 市場研究公司Gimme Credit周二下調(diào)了對AMD的股 票評級，從“穩(wěn)定”(stable)調(diào)降至“日益惡化”(deteriorating)。AMD目前背負(fù)著大約20億美元的長期債務(wù)和資本租賃性債務(wù)。 本文授權(quán)編譯自EE Times，版權(quán)所有，謝絕轉(zhuǎn)載 參考英文原文：AMD to sell Austin campus, by Dylan McGrath

{pagination} AMD to sell Austin campus Dylan McGrath SAN FRANCISCO—Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) wants to sell its campus in Austin, Texas, and lease the facility back from a commercial real estate investor in an effort to raise cash, a company spokesperson said Tuesday (Nov. 27). In an email exchange, the spokesperson said AMD intends to take advantage of "favorable economic conditions in the Austin Southwest office submarket" by offering the company's "Lone Star" campus for sale to reputable commercial investors, contingent on a multi-year leaseback deal. "AMD’s management team believes this is a good business decision that is supportive of the company’s long term corporate strategy by enabling AMD to generate capital to apply to its business operations, as opposed to having it locked in real estate," the spokesman said. More than 2,000 AMD employees work at the Austin campus. It is the company's single largest site in terms of number of employees. The spokesman said AMD expects the 58-acre campus site to fetch $150 million to $200 million. With a multi-year leaseback deal, AMD plans to remain a long-term tenant at the campus, the spokesman said. The action is expected to have no impact on employees or operations, the spokesman said. AMD last month announced it would cut its workforce by about 15 percent after reporting a net loss of $157 million on sales of $1.27 billion.
