TAIPEI : Advanced Micro Devices’ Chief Executive Lisa Su said on Tuesday that it is ready to start chip production at TSMC’s plant in Arizona and will certainly make more AI servers in the U.S.

Su was speaking to reporters at National Taiwan University in Taipei.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he would be announcing the tariff rate on imported semiconductors this week, adding that there would be flexibility with some companies in the sector. 

AMD, one of the largest providers of personal computer chips, relies mostly on TSMC, the world’s largest contract chip maker in Taiwan to make its chips.
