I didn't hear anything definitive in there.

If the Instinct MI300 or other AI parts that have been designed by xilinx are designed for samsung, and I'm not saying they are I have no idea, but that would be a great reason for amd to use samsung to make those because otherwise they would have to redesign them for TSMC which would kill margins.

 

[Co BIY]

TSMC is clearly the leader and AMDs best partner...

... but the combination of multiple available advanced foundry fabs, very capable mature nodes useful for many products, increasingly sophisticated automated design tools and "cut and paste" IP blocks that subs will already have ported to multiple processes make switching, swapping or considering other foundries for bidding purposes increasingly viable.

Nvidia seemed to do pretty well with their 30xx series chips on Samsung. I have heard nothing about that slowing the development of the 40XX series at TSMC.
