AMD will significantly increase chip supply in 2027, CEO Lisa Su announces

AMD plans to significantly increase its chip supply in 2027, as the American manufacturer seeks to meet rapidly growing demand from artificial intelligence — chief executive Lisa Su said on Tuesday, as Reuters reports.

“We have managed to increase supply during 2026 and we will increase it significantly in 2027 as well,” Su told reporters in Taipei, where she is on an official visit.

According to Reuters’ reporting, Su said one of the main aims of the visit to Taiwan is to ensure that AMD’s supply chain can scale up production of CPU processors and GPU graphics processors. She has met manufacturer Foxconn and is expected to meet TSMC as well, as part of discussions with local partners.

AMD is also working closely with memory chip makers to secure sufficient supplies, Su said, ahead of a visit to South Korea later on Tuesday — home to memory giants Samsung and SK Hynix. Asked whether TSMC had discussed a possible investment in Texas with AMD, Su did not answer directly, but said the company would need additional advanced wafer capacity.

“There is very, very high demand for the next several years. We can see the very high demand, so we need more advanced wafer capacity,” Su said, adding that AMD is already planning three to five years ahead.

Su also said artificial intelligence could be “extremely good for the world”, but warned that companies must be careful about the risks and work together on AI safety. According to Reuters, she described last week’s meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and technology company executives on artificial intelligence as an important step, stressing that coordination among leading technology companies will be important as AI and superintelligence advance.
