Recently, senior executives from global semiconductor leader AMD — led by its Vice President of Global Marketing — and the Taiwan head of storage solution pioneer Phison Electronics paid a strategic visit to Shenzhen GMKtec Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “GMKtec”) for in-depth cooperation talks.
During the meeting, both AMD and Phison officially confirmed that they will provide comprehensive CPU and storage supply support for GMKtec in 2026, reinforcing supply chain stability amid global component price fluctuations. This partnership is expected to empower GMKtec’s rapid growth in the Desktop AI Supercomputing and Mini PC markets, positioning the brand to achieve a major leap forward on the global stage.
A Strategic Alliance in Times of Market Uncertainty
Today, the global CPU and memory markets are facing price volatility and supply instability. For technology companies competing in rapidly evolving sectors, securing key component supply has become a critical success factor.
As a leading brand in the Mini PC industry and a pioneer in the Desktop AI Supercomputing category, GMKtec’s strengthened partnership with AMD and Phison represents a decisive move in a time of change.
Founded in 1969, AMD has achieved remarkable breakthroughs through innovations such as the Zen architecture and Chiplet technology. By 2025, its market value had reached approximately USD 397.2 billion, with an x86 global market share exceeding 25.6%, including 33.6% in the desktop segment and rapid expansion in the server field. The upcoming Zen 6 (2nm) processors are expected to deliver unprecedented performance and power efficiency.
As one of AMD’s key strategic partners, GMKtec has continuously received major recognition, including the "AMD Business Excellence Award" and a personal recommendation endorsed by AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su for the GMKtec EVO-X2. These achievements reflect the deep mutual trust between both companies.
Phison Electronics, on the other hand, is a global leader in flash storage technology. Since its founding in 2000, it has grown from producing the world’s first single-chip USB flash controller to delivering a complete range of solutions, including PCIe/SATA SSDs, UFS, and eMMC products. Today, one out of every four SSDs worldwide uses Phison technology. With 80% of its operating budget dedicated to R&D, more than 2,000 global patents, and a workforce where 70% are R&D personnel, Phison’s technological strength is second to none. Its enterprise SSD R&D center in the United States further strengthens its competitive advantage.
Phison’s commitment to securing storage supply for GMKtec will ensure superior product quality, production consistency, and delivery efficiency from the core component level.
