AMD CEO Lisa Su to Visit Samsung Chip Facility for Foundry Partnership Talks

Advanced Micro Devices CEO Lisa Su will visit a Samsung Electronics chip production facility this week, according to a report from Reuters. The visit is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, where Su will tour production lines and hold discussions aimed at broadening the existing collaboration between the two firms.

The talks are expected to move beyond memory chips and into the area of foundry manufacturing. During the visit, Su is anticipated to meet with senior Samsung chip executives, including the head of the chip division and the leader of the Foundry Business. Following the site tour, a dinner meeting with Samsung Electronics' Chairman is also planned.

Samsung has been a supplier of high-bandwidth memory chips for AMD's most recent artificial intelligence accelerators for approximately the past year. Both AMD and Samsung Electronics declined to provide comments on the reported plans.
