AMD rumored to outsource chip production to Samsung

Samsung and AMD have been working closely on co-developing Exynos chipsets with AMD RDNA GPUs but according to new reports, the partnership may go up a notch. Based on an unofficial report from South Korean tech forum Clien, AMD wants to increase its CPU and APU production volumes by 50% but its current supplier TSMC is not able to meet these orders.

This is should be where Samsung enters the picture as its semiconductor division is currently working on optimizing its 3nm process for mass production and AMD could be looking to make the switch for its CPU and APU production. Samsung recently announced its $10 billion chip manufacturing plant in Texas which is expected to fab 3nm chips for US customers.
