“AMD expects to be an enormous buyer, of each fabs and we’re dedicated to working intently with TSMC and all the ecosystem,” mentioned AMD CEO Lisa Su.
No less than a dozen main cranes are nonetheless arrange across the first manufacturing facility which is dubbed Fab 21. The manufacturing facility is within the northern a part of Phoenix, surrounded by brown hills and empty land.
With the brand new TSMC manufacturing facility within the backdrop with the flag and a drape studying “A Future Made in America Phoenix, AZ,” TSMC executives led by founder Morris Chang, 91, together with CEOs of key machine suppliers and Apple, Nvidia and AMD, toasted the manufacturing facility opening with glowing wine.
