Original title: Production capacity is not grabbed! AMD plans to advance $6.5 billion (approximately RMB43.6 billion) to suppliers such as TSMC and GF

According to the Electronic Times, industry sources said that amD and TSMC signed a contract to produce flagship processors, and the market share of notebook, desktop and server processors has continued to increase.

With Intel, NVIDIA and other giants have placed a large number of orders with TSMC,In order to seize TSMC's advanced process capacity, AMD reported quarterly that the company must pay a total of $6.5 billion in advance payments to suppliers such as TSMC and GLOBALFOUNDRIES.

It is reported that AMD has launched a series of 6nm CPU and GPU products since 2022, and TSMC is its only foundry partner. Due to the close cooperation with TSMC,AMD expects to launch a new generation of processors manufactured using TSMC's 5nm process technology as early as September.

According to previous reports, AMD announced the Ryzen™ 7000 product line, the desktop model codenamed Raphael (Raphael), supports DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0, power consumption of 65W+.

By next year, AMD has also planned a high-performance mobile family Dragon Range, which is aimed at game books above 20mm thickness, DP power consumption is increased to 55W+, and also supports DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0, with a core number of 16+.

It can be seen that AMD is working intensively to plan its chip product line and supply, and the production capacity must keep up, so it has to spend a lot of money to book TSMC's foundry services.
