AMD is in talks with the Taiwan government to set up two R&D centers — the chipmaker's investment amounts to $270M

AMD's HQ in Santa Clara, Calif.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is discussing building two new R&D centers in the island nation with the Taiwanese government. Unlike rival Nvidia, which is establishing a new R&D center in Nangang, Taipei, AMD is shifting its development away from north and central Taiwan because of recent power supply constraints.

The Taiwanese government hopes to build an “AI island” in Taiwan, fostering collaboration between industry leaders, government resources, and academia to attract investment worth around NT$15 billion ($469.26 million) in the region. The new AMD R&D centers are said to be part of this initiative.
