AMD ramping up Taiwan capacity as global CPU market tightens

TAIPEI: Advanced Micro Devices is working with Taiwan partners to ramp up production capacity as stronger-than-expected demand squeezes the global CPU market, CEO Lisa Su said on Friday.

Speaking in Taipei after a visit to China, Su said she had met AMD’s largest customers in China and globally and came to Taiwan to ensure supply capacity could support a significant increase in central processing unit (CPU) production.

Taiwan plays a pivotal role in the global AI supply chain for companies including Nvidia and Apple, and its ‌position is anchored ⁠by the ⁠world’s largest contract chipmaker, TSMC, a major supplier of AMD.
