AMD CEO Lisa Su says U.S.-made chips could cost up to 20% more than those from Taiwan

Wait 5 sec.

AMD CEO Lisa Su has acknowledged that semiconductor chips produced at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC)’s upcoming facilities in Arizona will come at a significant cost premium. In an interview with Bloomberg’s Ed Ludlow in Washington, Su said the chips are expected to be 5% to 20% more expensive compared to similar components made in TSMC’s factories in Taiwan.The higher costs are largely attributed to differences in labor, infrastructure, and supply chain efficiencies between the U.S. and Taiwan. While the Arizona facilities are part of a broader U.S. push to bring critical chip manufacturing onshore for national security and supply chain resilience, the price disparity highlights the challenges of reshoring advanced semiconductor production.Su did not indicate whether AMD would pass those additional costs on to consumers, but she did stress that the company remains committed to sourcing from a diversified global supply base, including the U.S., as part of its long-term strategy.---Su did emphasise the benefit of supply chain resilience with US sourced chips.
