BREITBART – AMD has announced that its key processor chips will soon be produced at TSMC’s new facility in Arizona, marking the first time AMD’s products will be manufactured in the United States. The news comes on the heels of AI giant Nvidia announcing it will produce AI chips and supercomputers in Arizona and Texas.
Until now, AMD’s products have been exclusively manufactured at TSMC’s facilities in Taiwan. However, the company recognizes the need for a resilient supply chain that includes both Taiwan and the United States. “We want to have a very resilient supply chain, so Taiwan continues to be a very important part of that supply chain, but the United States is also going to be important, and we’re expanding our work there, including our work with TSMC and other key supply chain partners,” Su stated.
AMD is not alone in this endeavor. Besides Nvidia, Apple has also announced that some of its chips will be produced at TSMC’s Arizona plant. This shift towards domestic manufacturing aligns with the U.S. government’s efforts to reduce dependence on foreign suppliers and strengthen the country’s semiconductor industry.
