According to a Bloomberg report on February 22, citing individuals familiar with the situation, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) is in negotiations to sell some of its data center manufacturing plants.

The assets up for sale could be valued at up to $4 billion, including debt, and potential buyers include Taiwan-based companies Compal Electronics, Inventec Corp., Pegatron Corp., and Wistron Corp.
