AMD CEO Lisa Su announced Tuesday that her company plans to significantly ramp up chip supply in 2027 to keep pace with surging demand driven by artificial intelligence.
Su told reporters, “We’ve been able to increase our supply as we’ve gone through 2026, and we’re going to substantially increase our supply in 2027.”
“There’s very, very high demand for the next several years. We can see very high demand, and so we need more advanced wafer capacity,” Su said, adding that AMD was now planning three to five years ahead.”
Referring to the current debate on AI safety, Su also said AI could be “incredibly good for the world” but warned that companies must remain mindful of risks and work together on AI safety. Moving forward, she said that coordination among leading technology companies would be important as AI and superintelligence advance.
The CEO mentioned on Tuesday that one goal of her Taiwan trip was to ensure AMD’s supply chain can increase CPU and GPU production to meet rising AI demand. She has already met with Foxconn and plans to meet with TSMC as part of her discussions with local partners.
Su said AMD is working closely with memory chip manufacturers to ensure ample supply, ahead of a visit to South Korea later Tuesday. The country hosts major memory companies Samsung and SK Hynix.
The news comes as AMD, Nvidia’s main competitor in AI graphics processors, has quickly grown its AI chip division, recently reaching a market value of over $1 trillion during an AI-fueled rally.
