AMD is seeking bidders for its AI server assembly plants in Texas and New Jersey, valued between $3 billion and $4 billion, as part of a strategy to divest manufacturing operations. Taiwanese firms like Compal Electronics and Wiwynn Corp., along with US-based Jabil Inc., are preparing revised bids, aiming to finalize the sale by Q2 2025. This move reflects a broader trend of Taiwanese manufacturers expanding in the US amid tariff concerns and the rising demand for AI server production. The plants, employing around 1,500 skilled workers, are seen as key assets in the booming AI infrastructure market, which is driving premium valuations for specialized server manufacturing. AMD's decision to sell follows its recent acquisition of ZT Systems, emphasizing a shift towards focusing on high-margin chip design while avoiding competition with customers like Dell and HP.
