Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD) could be in trouble moving forward, even as it looks to cut overhead costs moving forward.

According to Evercore's Patrick Wang, AMD's efforts to trim the fat is also "[cutting] out much of the muscle." He thinks the restructuring will "significantly impair profitability in the coming years."

Wang said checks indicate that AMD is shifting R&D away from big core development over to low-power, lightweight cores and the new ARM Holdings (Nasdaq: ARMH) road map.

The firms maintains its Underweight rating on AMD. Wang sees the shift as a positive for ARM, Intel (Nasdaq: INTC), and International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM).

Shares of AMD are up 3.8 percent early.
