On a recent podcast, DIGITIMES analyst Luke Lin reviewed two major updates in the chip industry: Intel's Ireland fab expansion and rising US scrutiny of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix as both South Korean chipmakers expand memory capacity at home. He also assessed whether Intel's revival is real, saying that its production scale-up and yield will ultimately be the deciding factors.

U.S. investors are getting a new way to buy into the memory boom. SK Hynix , the second most valuable company in South Korea, behind only Samsung , is slated to begin trading on the Nasdaq on Friday. The market debut, coinciding with the company’s hefty expansion plans for the U.S., comes after a more than sevenfold increase in its stock price over the past year, a rally that’s lifted SK Hynix’s

SK Hynix has begun shipping samples of HBM4E, its next-generation high-bandwidth memory, to major customers. The South Korean chipmaker said the 12-layer product was delivered on schedule.

Nvidia's multiyear technology partnership with SK Hynix could reinforce the South Korean chipmaker's role in the AI memory supply chain, raising pressure on Samsung Electronics and Micron Technology as the memory market enters one of its strongest upcycles in years.

South Korean chipmaker SK Hynix became the latest company to join the elite stock market club of companies worth more than $1 trillion. The chipmaker's share price closed up by over 9% on Wednesday to reach 2,243,000 Korean won per share, or roughly $1,500. This, in turn, gave SK Hynix a market capitalization of just over $1 trillion, or around 1,500 trillion Korean won. SK Hynix's share price i

The race to dominate next-generation NAND flash memory has long been measured in layers — and Samsung Electronics appears to be pulling ahead. The South Korean chipmaker has reportedly developed a 900-layer-class V-NAND prototype, a significant leap that brings the memory industry closer to the 1,000-layer threshold as chipmakers intensify efforts to pack more storage into smaller chips while cutt
