AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su reportedly visited Samsung on October 7th and spent about three hours with Samsung chip chief Jun Young-hyun in Seoul on Wednesday, and a Korean media report suggests the two sides want different things from each other. As relayed by @jukan05 on X, Samsung apparently wants AMD to place orders with Samsung Foundry in return for HBM and other memory, which AMD urgently needs. A senior semiconductor industry official quoted in the report said "AMD sees entrusting its foundry work to Samsung Electronics as too risky," and added that this gap is what brought about the talks. Neither company has confirmed any of it, so it is best treated as an industry report for now.
