Cash strapped chipmaker AMD has had to apply for a short term loan to help the company slow its financial decline. The outfit has raised half-billion dollar line of finance from a group of lenders, with Bank of America acting as agent.

All this is happening as AMD struggles with the economic downturn and a decline in PC sales. The outfit is good for the cash.
