AMD CEO to visit S. Korea this week for partnerships

AMD's Lisa Su, the CEO of Advanced Micro Devices Inc., is set to journey to South Korea this week for crucial meetings with industry leaders and officials. This visit is a follow-up to Su's previous trip to the country in March, which took place seven months ago. During her upcoming visit, Su, alongside Jack Huynh, AMD's senior vice president and general manager for Computing and Graphics Group, will be present at the AMD Gamer Day 2026 event in central Seoul on Wednesday. A media question-and-answer session is also planned for the same day, according to AMD.

Su's itinerary includes scheduled meetings with South Korean artificial intelligence (AI) companies and government officials. The primary objective of these meetings is to explore potential business partnerships. Su's visit in March saw her engaging with Samsung Electronics Co. Chairman Lee Jae-yong and Choi Soo-yeon, the CEO of South Korea's leading online portal, Naver Corp., to discuss cooperation in AI.

It's worth noting that Samsung Electronics has provided HBM3E chips to AMD for its latest AI solutions since 2025. Both companies have forged a strong business relationship.

AMD specializes in the development and manufacturing of central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs), positioning itself as a major player in the global AI semiconductor market, alongside Nvidia Corp.
