Computing giant Intel will lay off 129 workers at four company locations in Santa Clara, where it has its headquarters, according to filings with the California Employment Development Department.

The filings said the layoffs will officially take place March 31, although in many cases employees lose their jobs sooner.

“As we move into 2020, our business units are focusing their resources on areas where we have the greatest opportunity for growth and, as part of that, some are planning to eliminate roles associated with projects that are no longer priorities,” Intel spokeswoman Nancy Sanchez wrote in an email.

Sanchez did not provide a list of the eliminated jobs or details on the affected business units.

Intel recently paid $2 billion for an Israeli company, Habana Labs, which uses artificial intelligence to bolster data centers. Intel’s Data Center Group was by far its top performer among its business groups according to the company’s most recent quarterly report. The unit had revenue of $7.2 billion in the last quarter of 2019, an increase of almost 20% over the same period in 2018.

Sanchez said the layoffs involve less than 1% of the company’s nearly 110,000 employees worldwide. “We are committed to treating all impacted employees with professionalism and respect, and we continue to hire for critical skills, with more than 1,300 positions open in our key locations in the U.S. and globally,” she said.

In its notice to the state, the company said it would offer some affected employees severance pay based on years of service as well as money to pay for health insurance premiums for a period after they lose their jobs. The benefits will be “offered to the employees in exchange for a standard release agreement,” Intel said.
