AMD partners with various companies to produce technology products. Some partners prefer not to be mentioned again
There have previously been reports that manufacturers have asked for products to be labeled as something other than “Made in Taiwan” such as “Chinese Taipei” or “Taiwan, China” to comply with a rule requiring Taiwanese products to indicate that the island is part of China.
AMD is also reportedly doing something similar. It was assumed that AMD would abandon the Diffused in Taiwan marking only for products for the Chinese market.
It turned out that the change is relevant for all processors, an AMD representative gave the following comment:< /p>
“In 2023, AMD removed country labeling from all new processors and APUs to align with the labeling process for our other products.”
< p>In this case, Made in Malaysia means that in Malaysia the crystal was placed in the microcircuit case.
According to sources close to the matter, this is due to AMD's desire to harmonize manufacturing methods for existing products with new products from Xilinx (AMD acquired this company), which also does not indicate the country in which the crystal was originally manufactured.
