Our top story takes us to Arizona, where AMD has launched production of its advanced server chips at TSMC’s new U.S. facility. This marks a significant step toward bringing high-tech manufacturing back to American soil.
AMD’s 5th-generation EPYC chips are now rolling off the line, a move CEO Lisa Su calls a “milestone for U.S. innovation.”
“We’re ready to start production in Arizona, bringing cutting-edge technology to the U.S. and strengthening our supply chain.”
The shift reduces reliance on overseas manufacturing, aligning with national efforts to bolster domestic tech production. Producing chips in the U.S. is important for both commercial and national security applications.
“TSMC has been a key partner for many years and our deep collaboration with their R&D and manufacturing teams has enabled AMD to consistently deliver leadership products that push the limits of high-performance computing,” said Dr. Su, chair and CEO, AMD. “Being a lead HPC customer for TSMC’s N2 process and for TSMC Arizona Fab 21 are great examples of how we are working closely together to drive innovation and deliver the advanced technologies that will power the future of computing.”
“We are proud to have AMD be a lead HPC customer for our advanced 2nm (N2) process technology and TSMC Arizona fab. By working together, we are driving significant technology scaling resulting in better performance, power efficiency and yields for high-performance silicon. We look forward to continuing to work closely with AMD to enable the next era of computing.”
