Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On May 29, 2024, we announced that our board of directors had approved a new share repurchase program (the "2024 repurchase program") designed, among other things, to reduce or eliminate dilution resulting from issuance of stock under the company's employee equity incentive programs. The 2024 repurchase program authorizes the purchase of up to $2.0 billion, excluding excise taxes, of our common stock at the company's discretion and has no fixed termination date. The 2024 repurchase program does not require the company to acquire a specific number of shares and may be suspended, amended or discontinued at any time. The 2024 repurchase program will become effective on August 1, 2024 and will commence upon the termination of our existing repurchase program. On May 29, 2024, we announced a new restructuring plan ("FY24 Plan") designed to further reduce costs and expenses in response to the current macroeconomic conditions. The plan includes a reduction of our total headcount by approximately 500 regular employees, representing approximately 3 percent of our global workforce. The costs associated with this action include severance and other personnel costs related to the workforce reduction and is currently estimated to be approximately $55 million. When completed, the restructuring program is expected to result in the reduction in annual cost of sales and operating expenses. We expect most of these activities to be completed by the end of fiscal year 2024.
