AMD will invest more than $10 billion in Taiwan to strengthen advanced packaging technologies and build a partner ecosystem aimed at accelerating deployment of its Helios rack platform for AI infrastructure, with rollouts expected to begin in the second half of 2026.
The U.S. chipmaker is positioning Taiwan as a key base for its next wave of AI hardware, leveraging the island’s semiconductor manufacturing expertise and supply-chain depth. The investment is intended not only to support advanced encapsulation, but also to expand the network of partners needed to bring Helios to market at scale.
AMD said the spending will be directed into Taiwan’s ecosystem, underscoring the strategic importance of the region for AI infrastructure development. The company’s timeline points to a phased deployment starting in H2 2026, as it works to accelerate adoption of its rack-scale platform for data-center AI systems.
