AMD completed its divestiture of the ZT Systems U.S.-headquartered data center infrastructure manufacturing business to Sanmina.
Under the agreement, AMD retains ZT Systems’ design and customer enablement teams to support the quality and time-to-deployment of AMD AI systems for cloud customers. Sanmina assumes the role of a preferred new product introduction manufacturing partner for AMD's cloud rack and cluster-scale AI solutions, expanding the AMD ecosystem of ODM and OEM partners.
Forrest Norrod, executive vice president and general manager of the Data Center Solutions business unit at AMD, stated that the move aligns with rack-scale innovation in AMD's data center strategy. He noted that it extends AMD's leadership from silicon to software to full systems, providing cloud and AI customers with an open, scalable deployment path for AMD performance. The partnership combines U.S.-based manufacturing with AMD AI systems design and enablement expertise to address quality, speed, and flexibility at scale.
