AMD Chairman and CEO Lisa Su unveiled the company’s latest AI chip, MI325X, at the opening of Computex Taipei on June 3. She emphasized that the MI325X boasts 30% faster computing speed compared to NVIDIA’s H200. According to a report from CNA, Su also announced that AMD plans to release a new generation of AI chips each respective year, hinting at a strong competitive stance against NVIDIA.

Lisa Su announced that the MI300 series is AMD’s fastest progressing product. The tech giant’s next-generation AI chip, MI325X, features HBM3e and is built on the CDNA 3 architecture.

According to Su, AMD MI325X outperforms NVIDIA’s H200 in performance and bandwidth, more than twice than that of NVIDIA’s H200. On the other hand, MI325X delivers 30% faster computing speed compared to the H200.

Furthermore, Su also announced that AMD will release MI350 in 2025, which will be manufactured with 3nm process, while MI400 is expected to follow, launched in 2026.

On June 3, Lisa Su stated that AMD will continue its collaboration with TSMC, advancing process technology to the 3nm and even 2nm nodes. Yet, Su did not directly address the previous market rumors suggesting that AMD might switch to Samsung’s 3nm technology.

Previously, as per a report on May 29th from The Korea Economic Daily, it has speculated that AMD is likely to become a customer of Samsung Electronics’ 3nm GAA process. Reportedly, during AMD CEO Lisa Su’s appearance at the 2024 ITF World, which was hosted by the Belgian microelectronics research center imec, Su revealed that AMD plans to use the 3nm GAA process for mass-producing next-generation chips.

Per the same report, Lisa Su stated that 3nm GAA transistors can enhance efficiency and performance, with improvements in packaging and interconnect technology. This will make AMD products more cost-effective and power-efficient. The report further addressed that, as Samsung is currently the only chip manufacturer with commercialized 3nm GAA process technology, Su’s comments were interpreted as indicating that AMD will officially collaborate with Samsung for 3nm production.
