Chipmaker Intel to cut 15,000 jobs as it tries to revive its business [Video]

(AP) — Chipmaker Intel says it is cutting 15% of its massive workforce — about 15,000 jobs — as it tries to turn its business around to compete with more successful rivals like Nvidia and AMD.

The Santa Clara, California-based company said Thursday it is also suspending its dividend as part of a broader plan to cut costs.
