Amd has two major product upgrades this year. The processor side is zen4 architecture Ruilong 7000 series, and the graphics card side is rdna3 architecture RX 7000 series. Both of them will upgrade TSMC's 5nm process, with obvious performance and energy efficiency improvement, which is worth looking forward to. Considering that the global semiconductor market has encountered problems such as tight production capacity, shortage and rising prices in the past two years, amd has also made great efforts to ensure new products. Amd CEO Su Zifeng recently revealed in an interview that the company's revenue will increase by 60% by the end of this year.
With the sharp rise in revenue, AMD will have more products and quantities to prepare. Therefore, amd paid an advance payment of US $6.5 billion to suppliers, about 43.3 billion yuan
Due to the shortage of chip capacity, including TSMC's OEM, customers are required to pay a large amount of money in advance to allocate capacity. AMD's record advance payment is obviously also to grab TSMC's chip capacity, especially this year's 5nm new products**
At present, it is uncertain how much of the $6.5 billion is prepared for 5nm zen4 and Rx 7000 graphics cards, but these two new products will obviously be the focus of high weight. AMD's focus this year is to improve the PC market share, and the product supply cannot fall off the chain.
