A key focus of Su’s first trip to South Korea will be expanding partnerships with Samsung for additional memory needed for AMD’s AI GPUs. This is an incredibly important topic for AMD, as supply chains for memory have been stressed by the AI boom. In order to keep up with the demand for its AI GPUs, AMD needs to secure additional memory for its chips.

As for Naver, AMD wants to work with the company to reduce the data center operator’s reliance on Nvidia NVDA +0.95% ▲ . While Nvidia currently dominates the AI market, Naver will weigh options with AMD to create resources that allow the industry to shift away from Nvidia. This could be a huge win for AMD as it could expand the company’s AI data center market share.
