The chipmaker said that Taiwanese law enforcement authorities on Thursday raided four companies in that country that were suspected of tampering with or selling relabelled AMD processors. Numerous people were arrested, said AMD spokeswoman Catherine Abbinanti, and a number of chips were confiscated.
AMD declined to comment on the number of processors that were seized, their value or how they were obtained by the companies in question, as the investigation is ongoing.
Taiwanese IT daily DigiTimes on Monday reported that Taiwanese police seized about 60,000 AMD chips in a raid on a Taiwanese company and cited reports that said a number of the relabelled chips may already have already been distributed in Europe and Asia.
Abbinanti, however, said that at this time, AMD has no reason to believe that any processors from the company in question made it to Europe.
