AMD injects ten billion into Taiwan to cool the PC market

Published on May 23, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The chip shortage and skyrocketing prices have put PC users in a tight spot. AMD has announced an investment of over $10 billion in Taiwan to increase its production capacity. The goal is to recover the stock lost due to the artificial intelligence frenzy and ease the burden on consumers' wallets.

The investment will focus on expanding advanced packaging lines and increasing the capacity of 3 and 5 nanometer wafers. AMD aims to divert some of the production currently dominated by AI giants toward Ryzen and Radeon processors. This would help reduce supply chain bottlenecks and stabilize component prices for the domestic market.

Hallelujah, the Price of a Graphics Card Might Not Be a Mortgage 💸

Finally, some good news for those still using a second-hand GTX 1060. AMD is pulling out all the stops so you don't have to sell a kidney for a GPU. Of course, with $10 billion, maybe the company expects money to rain from the sky and scalpers to retire. In the meantime, we'll keep staring at our Amazon shopping carts with our fingers crossed.
