Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) announced Tuesday that its next-generation data center chips will soon be manufactured at TSMC's new fabrication plant in Arizona — marking the first time amd products will be produced on U.S. soil.

The move aligns with President Trump's ongoing push to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to the U.S., amid rising trade tensions and the potential imposition of tariffs on chips and pharmaceuticals. On Monday, Trump said he is reviewing tariff options targeting foreign-made semiconductors, reinforcing his broader reshoring agenda.

AMD's next-generation EPYC™ processor, codenamed "Venice," is the first HPC product in the industry to be taped out and brought up on the tsmc advanced 2nm (N2) process technology. This highlights the strength of AMD and TSMC semiconductor manufacturing partnership to co-optimize new design architectures with leading-edge process technology. 

"Our new fifth-generation EPYC is doing very well, so we're ready to start production," AMD CEO Lisa Su told Reuters during an event in Taipei.

Until now, AMD has relied entirely on overseas manufacturing, primarily through TSMC's facilities in Taiwan. The shift to Arizona reflects growing pressure to localize chip production and diversify away from East Asia.

AMD joins tech giants like Apple and Nvidia, who have also committed to utilizing TSMC's Arizona site. Nvidia, in particular, made headlines this week by unveiling a $500 billion investment in U.S.-based AI infrastructure, a move Trump praised as a direct result of his tough trade stance.

"We want a very resilient supply chain," Su said. "Taiwan remains a crucial part of that, but the U.S. is becoming increasingly important. We're expanding our partnerships not only with TSMC in Arizona but also with other key suppliers across the U.S."

Su added that AMD is also looking for a strategic partner to support its ZT manufacturing operations, hinting at further U.S.-based expansion.
