Advanced Micro Devices is working with Taiwan partners to ramp up production capacity as stronger-than-expected demand squeezes the global CPU market, CEO Lisa Su said on Friday. Speaking in Taipei after a visit to China, Su said she had met AMD's largest customers in China and globally and came to Taiwan to ensure supply capacity could support a significant increase in central processing unit (CPU) production. Taiwan plays a pivotal role in the global AI supply chain for companies including Nvidia and Apple, and its position is anchored by the world's largest contract chipmaker, TSMC, a major supplier of AMD. “The overall CPU market has had significantly higher demand than any of us predicted a year ago,” Su said. “I would say the CPU market is tight.” She said AMD was ramping up capacity quickly and expected supply to increase every quarter this year, with significantly more supply planned for 2027 and beyond.
