In a significant update for the semiconductor industry, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) CEO Lisa Su stated that chips produced for AMD by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:TSM) in Arizona are more expensive than those made in Taiwan.
At an AI-focused event in Washington on Wednesday, Su noted that the U.S.-manufactured chips cost between 5% and 20% more. For context, the U.S. government actively pushed the Taiwanese chipmaker to expand its advanced chip production on American soil rather than in Taiwan.
