Item 2.05.  Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On April 16, 2008, RF Micro Devices, Inc. (the "Company") announced it will consolidate its production test facilities for high volume cellular products to reduce cycle time, better serve its customer base and improve overall profitability.  The consolidation represents the final phase of a production test transfer from the Company's Greensboro, North Carolina production test facility to the Company's primary production test facility located in Beijing, China.  The Company anticipates the employment of approximately 80 employees at its North Carolina production test facility will be affected.   

The production test facility consolidation is part of an ongoing process at the Company to improve efficiencies, eliminate duplicative operations and better align resources for improved profitability.  The Company anticipates that it will record a total cash restructuring charge of approximately $1.0 million related to one-time employee termination benefits, the majority of which should be recognized in the June 2008 quarter.  The Company does not expect the charge to result in any future cash expenditures.  The consolidation is expected to be completed in the September 2008 quarter and is expected to improve cash flow and profitability by approximately $3.0 million to $3.5 million per year. 

A press release was issued by the Company on April 16, 2008 regarding the production test facility consolidation, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
