SEOUL, March 18 (Reuters) - ⁠Advanced Micro Devices CEO Lisa ⁠Su is set to visit Samsung ‌Electronics' chip production site in Pyeongtaek, South Korea on Wednesday, where she will tour production ​lines and discuss expanding cooperation ⁠beyond memory into ⁠foundry manufacturing, a source with knowledge of ⁠the ‌trip said.

Su is expected to meet chip executives, including Samsung's ⁠chip division chief Jun Young-hyun and ​Foundry Business ‌head Han Jin-man during the visit, ⁠said ​the source, who declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the ⁠matter.

Samsung has been supplying high-bandwidth ​memory 3E (HBM3E) chips for AMD's latest artificial intelligence accelerators since last year, maintaining close ⁠ties over memory chips.

Su is also expected to hold a dinner meeting with Samsung Electronics Chairman Jay Y. Lee ​following the site ⁠visit, the source said.

AMD was not immediately ​available for comment outside ‌regular business hours, while ​Samsung Electronics declined to comment.
