Chipmaker Qualcomm Inc
The size of the job cuts is large enough that San Diego-based Qualcomm will have to file a WARN notice, or Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification, with the state of California, the report said.
Qualcomm did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Qualcomm had in January said it would implement a series of targeted reductions to save $1 billion in annual costs as part of its attempt to win over investors support against a hostile bid from rival Broadcom Inc

The chipmaker has been ramping up its operations since then to improve earnings growth.
