President Trump's 'America First' agenda—specifically, the revival of domestic critical supply chains to reinforce hemispheric defense—scored yet another win this week.
Reuters reported that Advanced Micro Devices' most advanced processor chips would soon enter series production at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC) factory in Arizona.
"Our new fifth-generation EPYC is doing very well, so we're ready to start production," AMD Chief Executive Lisa Su told reporters in Taipei earlier, referring to the company's server-grade processor line, designed for data centers, cloud computing, high-performance computing, and enterprise workloads.
Shifting AMD's server-grade processor line to TSMC's Arizona facility marks the first time the U.S. company will produce these chips domestically, eliminating the supply chain risks associated with manufacturing at TSMC's Taiwan-based fabs.
