(Reuters) - Intel Corp said it would cut 12,000 jobs globally, or 11 percent of its workforce, as the company moves away from its traditional business of selling chips used in personal computers.

The company also said on Tuesday Chief Financial Officer Stacy Smith will move to a new role leading sales, manufacturing and operations. Intel said it would begin a formal search process for a successor.

Intel's shares were down 2.5 percent in extended trading.

The company said it would record a pretax restructuring charge of $1.2 billion in the second quarter. (http://bit.ly/1WDPfBm)
