Lisa Su, Chair and CEO of AMD, is returning to South Korea for the first time in seven months since her visit in March.

According to AMD, Su and Senior Vice President Jack Huynh will attend the 'Gamer Day' event at Dragon City in Yongsan, Seoul, on October 7 at 2 p.m. A media Q&A session with Su is scheduled to follow at 3:30 p.m.

Industry experts expect Su's visit to further solidify AI memory collaboration with major domestic semiconductor companies, including Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.

Particularly noteworthy is Su's previous meeting with Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-Yong and Vice Chairman Jeon Young-Hyun during her March visit, raising speculation about a potential reunion this time.

If the two companies meet, discussions are likely to focus on expanding the high-bandwidth memory (HBM) supply chain and exploring next-generation foundry collaboration.

AMD is strengthening its partnership with SK Hynix to secure a leading position in the next-generation AI accelerator market.

SK Hynix is currently working closely with AMD to supply HBM products for its next-generation AI accelerator lineup.

As AMD aims to reduce its reliance on NVIDIA and expand its independent AI ecosystem, SK Hynix, with its unique HBM technology and mass production capabilities, is considered a key strategic partner.

This visit is expected to enhance practical cooperation between the two companies regarding securing next-generation memory supplies and jointly developing next-generation standards.
