Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Google are reportedly in discussions with Samsung Electronics. The companies seek to produce next-generation 2-nanometer (2nm) chips at Samsung’s new factory in Taylor, Texas.
The Samsung facility expects to begin 2nm production in 2026. This potential partnership emerges amid soaring demand for advanced chips. Furthermore, Taiwan’s export regulations currently prevent leading manufacturer TSMC from exporting its most advanced technology.
Securing a leading-edge U.S. foundry offers AMD a significant strategic victory. This move would ensure a resilient supply chain for future products and position AMD to better compete in the high-performance computing and AI sectors.
Neither AMD, Google, nor Samsung has issued public comment regarding the reported talks.
