Advanced Micro Devices Commits Over $10 Billion To Taiwan Semiconductor Ecosystem For AI InfrastructureAdvanced Micro Devices said it will invest more than $10 billion across Taiwan’s semiconductor ecosystem in a sweeping push to scale advanced packaging and accelerate next-generation AI infrastructure deployment. The commitment, outlined in a May 21 release, deepens partnerships with firms including ASE and SPIL to develop wafer-based 2.5D “Elevated Fanout Bridge” interconnect technology for AMD’s upcoming 6th Gen EPYC CPUs codenamed “Venice,” while also marking a milestone with PTI on panel-based EFB interconnects aimed at improving efficiency and economics for AI systems. The investments support AMD’s Helios rack-scale platform, targeting multi-gigawatt deployments from 2H 2026 using Instinct MI450X GPUs and EPYC processors, as the company competes more directly with Nvidia in AI infrastructure. Chair and CEO Dr. Lisa Su said the strategy combines AMD’s high-performance computing with Taiwan’s ecosystem to enable integrated rack-scale AI systems for faster deployment of next-gen workloads.
