The Statesman is reporting that layoffs have begun. It has apparently hit engineering, and other full time positions.

According to this article Dell is going to continue to lay off 10% off the workforce over the next 12 months, because they are fat. It makes sense...if they want to be on top of the competition, they need to reduce their costs.

The rumor is that the third round of layoffs at AMD is coming in July - 20-30%
That's huge

AMD layoffs may come in July

It cant be great for the immediate round rock area. But if you are buying a home in the area -- I would imagine that you are planning to be in the home for 5- 7 years. It may cause a slight dip in the immediate market but the it will recover.
