AMD became the first company to use TSMC Taiwan chip technology at 2 nanometers. The chipmaker calls TSMC the best maker of these tiny circuits compared to other factories. According to AMD leaders, no other company matches this process right now. This advanced manufacturing will power new EPYC Venice server chips coming next year. Lisa Su visited the Arizona facility herself to announce this partnership.
The company saw major growth in its data center business, with a 57 percent increase early this year. They expect similar success moving forward with these new chips. AMD plans to sell more affordable server processors with its EPYC 4005 Grado models. These chips help them reach customers who need less expensive options. The company remains open to working with other factories besides TSMC if needed.
AMD executives say they always talk with companies that might help deliver better products to customers. Samsung appears as the most likely alternative partner if AMD decides to expand beyond TSMC. Companies like NVIDIA and Apple search for second suppliers but find TSMC difficult to replace. Competition between chip factories has become fierce at this tiny scale.
