SEOUL, March 18 (Reuters) - Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD ) CEO
Lisa Su is set to visit Samsung Electronics' ( SSNLF ) chip production
site in Pyeongtaek, South Korea on Wednesday, where she will
tour production lines and discuss expanding cooperation beyond
memory into foundry manufacturing, a source with knowledge of
the trip said.
Su is expected to meet chip executives, including Samsung's
chip division chief Jun Young-hyun and Foundry Business head Han
Jin-man during the visit, said the source, who declined to be
named due to the sensitivity of the matter.
Samsung has been supplying high-bandwidth memory 3E (HBM3E)
chips for AMD's latest artificial intelligence accelerators
since last year, maintaining close ties over memory chips.
Su is also expected to hold a dinner meeting with Samsung
Electronics ( SSNLF ) Chairman Jay Y. Lee following the site visit, the
source said.
AMD was not immediately available for comment outside
regular business hours, while Samsung Electronics ( SSNLF ) declined to
comment.
