AMD chief executive officer Lisa Su said the company supports expanding advanced semiconductor manufacturing in the United States, arguing that on-shore production would strengthen national security, bolster the economy and improve supply-chain resilience even if costs are higher than in Asia. Su’s comments, made in a Wired interview published Tuesday, come as Washington tightens export controls on high-performance chips bound for China and dangles subsidies to draw more fabrication plants to U.S. soil. Roughly a quarter of AMD’s revenue still comes from China, but Su described export restrictions as “a fact of life” and signalled that AMD is prepared to adapt its supply network. The CEO also highlighted AMD’s latest AI hardware, the MI400 Series accelerator, which she called “the most advanced” the company has built. The chip is designed for trillion-parameter models and delivers up to 40 petaflops of FP4 performance with 432 GB of HBM4 memory and 300 GB/s of scale-out bandwidth, features aimed at narrowing AMD’s rivalry with market leader Nvidia.
“I am a supreme technology optimist. But I’m pragmatic in how you get there. And how you get there is every day, step by step. We learn, we listen, we adjust. We apply what we learn.” In @WIRED, @LisaSu shares the mindset driving AMD’s AI roadmap: deliberate execution, deep https://t.co/Cy0EcM1qef
