AMD (AMD, Financial) CEO Lisa Su announced that the company is ready to start chip production at TSMC's Arizona facility. This move aligns with AMD's plans to increase the production of AI servers in the U.S. The company relies heavily on TSMC for chip manufacturing, making this development significant for its supply chain and production capabilities.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Trump indicated plans to announce new tariff rates on semiconductor imports, with a promise of flexibility for certain companies in the industry. This could potentially affect AMD and its operations, given its reliance on international manufacturing partners like TSMC.
