Key­note high­lights company’s gro­wing momen­tum, strong and expan­ding set of part­ners, and breakth­rough AMD tech­no­lo­gies powe­ring gam­ing, PCs and the data center

05/31/2021 — Today at COMPUTEX 2021, AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) show­ca­sed its latest com­pu­ting and gra­phics tech­no­lo­gy inno­va­tions to acce­le­ra­te the high-per­for­mance com­pu­ting eco­sys­tem, span­ning gam­ing, PCs and the data cen­ter. AMD Pre­si­dent and CEO Dr. Lisa Su unvei­led the latest breakth­rough in high-per­for­mance com­pu­ting pio­nee­red by AMD with new 3D chip­let tech­no­lo­gy; expan­ded adop­ti­on of AMD com­pu­ting and gra­phics tech­no­lo­gies in the auto­mo­ti­ve and mobi­le mar­kets with indus­try lea­ders Tes­la and Sam­sung; new AMD Ryzen™ pro­ces­sor offe­rings for enthu­si­asts and con­su­mer PCs; lea­der­ship data cen­ter per­for­mance with the latest 3^rd Gen AMD EPYC™ pro­ces­sors; and a full sla­te of new AMD gra­phics tech­no­lo­gies for gamers.

“At Com­putex, we high­ligh­ted the gro­wing adop­ti­on of our high-per­for­mance com­pu­ting and gra­phics tech­no­lo­gies as AMD con­ti­nues set­ting the pace of inno­va­ti­on for the indus­try,” said Dr. Su. “With the laun­ches of our new Ryzen and Rade­on pro­ces­sors and the first wave of AMD Advan­ta­ge note­books, we con­ti­nue expan­ding the eco­sys­tem of lea­der­ship AMD pro­ducts and tech­no­lo­gies for gamers and enthu­si­asts. The next fron­tier of inno­va­ti­on in our indus­try is taking chip design into the third dimen­si­on. Our first appli­ca­ti­on of 3D chip­let tech­no­lo­gy at Com­putex demons­tra­tes our com­mit­ment to con­ti­nue pushing the enve­lo­pe in high-per­for­mance com­pu­ting to signi­fi­cant­ly enhan­ce user expe­ri­en­ces. We are proud of the deep part­ner­ships we have cul­ti­va­ted across the eco­sys­tem to power the pro­ducts and ser­vices that are essen­ti­al to our dai­ly lives.”

Accelerating Chiplet and Packaging Innovation

AMD con­ti­nues to build on its lea­der­ship IP and invest­ments in lea­ding manu­fac­tu­ring and pack­a­ging tech­no­lo­gies with AMD 3D chip­let tech­no­lo­gy, a pack­a­ging breakth­rough that com­bi­nes AMD’s inno­va­ti­ve chip­let archi­tec­tu­re with 3D stack­ing using an indus­try-lea­ding hybrid bond approach that pro­vi­des over 200 times the inter­con­nect den­si­ty of 2D chip­lets and more than 15 times the den­si­ty com­pared to exis­ting 3D pack­a­ging solu­ti­ons. Pio­nee­red in clo­se col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with TSMC, the indus­try-lea­ding tech­no­lo­gy also con­su­mes less ener­gy¹ than cur­rent 3D solu­ti­ons and is the most fle­xi­ble acti­ve-on-acti­ve sili­con stack­ing tech­no­lo­gy in the world.

AMD show­ed the first appli­ca­ti­on of 3D chip­let tech­no­lo­gy at COMPUTEX 2021 – a 3D ver­ti­cal cache bond­ed to an AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series pro­ces­sor pro­to­ty­pe that is desi­gned to deli­ver signi­fi­cant per­for­mance gains across a broad set of appli­ca­ti­ons. AMD is on-track to begin pro­duc­tion on future high-end com­pu­ting pro­ducts with 3D chip­lets by the end of this year. [33:49–38:49]
