Lisa Su, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of AMD, will visit Korea again for the first time in seven months. As she met consecutively with executives from major domestic companies such as Samsung Electronics and Naver during her first visit to Korea in March, attention is focused on whether additional cooperation plans will be discussed.
According to industry sources on the 6th, AMD will hold a "Gamer Day" event at Dragon City in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, at 2 p.m. on the 7th. Lisa Su, CEO, and Jack Huynh, Senior Vice President, are expected to attend the event. Professional gamers, including Tekken knee players and the Nongshim RedForce LOL (League of Legends) team, will also participate. A media doorstep Q&A with Lisa Su, CEO, is also scheduled from 3:30 p.m. on the same day.
AMD is a global semiconductor company that sells CPUs (Central Processing Units), GPUs (Graphics Processing Units), and other products, and is considered the only competitor to NVIDIA. Lisa Su joined AMD in 2012 and has served as CEO since 2014. She is evaluated for having placed the company on a growth trajectory amid the semiconductor technology competition.
CEO Lisa Su met with Lee Jae-yong, Chairman of Samsung Electronics, and Chung Eung-hee, Representative Director of Samsung Electronics, respectively in March last year. She also met with Choi Soo-yeon, CEO of Naver, to discuss the expansion of the AI ecosystem, as well as with Baek Keun-hoon, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Science and ICT, and Kim Seong-hoon, CEO of Upstage. Consequently, industry attention is focused on who she will meet during this visit to Korea.
The reason AMD is making efforts in Korea is that it is both a key supplier and consumer of AI infrastructure. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are major suppliers of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), and domestic platform, telecommunications, and manufacturing companies are investing in AI Data Centers (AIDC).
