Lisa Su: Deep partnerships with memory vendors securing adequate supply for AMD targets; tight memory environment acknowledged but AMD confident in supply assurance
Lisa Su· AMD· AI· 2026-05-06· about AMD, Memory Vendors (Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron implied) (AMD)
“I think from a supply standpoint, we are very happy with our partnerships with the memory vendors, and we have secured enough supply to certainly meet and exceed our targets. So it is a tight memory environment. Let me be clear. But I think we are very deep partnerships with the memory providers.”
Why it matters
AMD has secured memory supply commitments that provide visibility to meet >70% CPU growth and MI450 ramp. This suggests AMD has priority allocation from at least one major HBM vendor, reducing risk of supply-constrained product launches.
Investment implication
Memory vendors with long-term agreements with hyperscalers and AMD will see sustained utilization and pricing power. Competitors without locked-in supply may face margin pressure. HBM capacity utilization will remain tight through 2027.
