Intel planning to cut 5,000 to 6,000 jobs

Intel says it is cutting 5,000 to 6,000 jobs as part of a restructuring of its global manufacturing operations.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. —

Intel says it is cutting 5,000 to 6,000 jobs as part of a restructuring of its global manufacturing operations.

The world's largest chip maker said Wednesday it is closing two assembly test facilities in Penang, Malaysia and one in Cavite, Philippines and will halt production at a plant in Hillsboro, Ore. It will also end wafer production at a facility in Santa Clara, Calif.

Intel currently employs 84,000. The company says not all employees will leave Intel, as some may be offered posts at other facilities.
