AMD CEO says continues to explore foundry partnership with Samsung Electronics

SEOUL, Oct 7 (Reuters) - ‌AMD CEO ​Lisa ​Su said on Wednesday that the US chipmaker continues to explore partnership opportunities with ‌Samsung Electronics in the memory and foundry ⁠businesses.

• In response to tight memory chip supply, Su said ‌AMD is "working with our ‌customers to optimise their memory footprint so that we can satisfy more computing going forward."

• Speaking ​to reporters during a visit to Seoul, Su said she had met with executives at ⁠SK Hynix and was going to meet with executives from Samsung ​Electronics.

• Su said she encourages memory suppliers to "build faster, as fast as possible."

• "I think ​we very much rely on ‌the Korean supply chain," Su said, adding that Samsung and SK Hynix are "key ⁠for us to accomplish our broad ambition in data centres."

• Su said overall data centre demand remained very ⁠strong, with AMD seeing strong demand signals across its product ​portfolio.

• In March, AMD and Samsung Electronics signed a memorandum of understanding to expand their strategic partnership on memory ‌chip supplies for artificial intelligence infrastructure.

• The companies said at the time they ‌would also discuss opportunities for a foundry partnership, ⁠under which Samsung could ‌provide contract chip ​manufacturing services for next-generation AMD products.
