AMD Announces Over $10 Billion Taiwan AI Investment

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) announced on 21 May 2026 plans to invest over $10 billion across Taiwan’s artificial intelligence ecosystem. The investment covers strategic partnerships, advanced packaging manufacturing, and supply-chain links for next-generation AI infrastructure.

AMD and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.

AMD has begun manufacturing its 6th Gen AMD EPYC CPUs, codenamed “Venice”, in Taiwan using Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s 2-nanometre process technology. AMD has also stated future production plans for “Venice” at TSMC’s Arizona facility in the United States.

Packaging and Supply-Chain Partners

AMD’s Taiwan ecosystem includes ASE, SPIL, PTI, Sanmina, Wiwynn, Wistron, and Inventec. The company is collaborating on EFB-based 2.5D packaging, a semiconductor packaging method used to increase interconnect bandwidth and efficiency for high-performance chips.

Helios Rack-Scale Platform

The AMD Helios rack-scale platform combines “Venice” CPUs with AMD Instinct MI450X GPUs. AMD has placed the platform on track for multi-gigawatt deployments beginning in the second half of 2026.
