- 1Samsung to more than double HBM4 and HBM4E output●Samsung is expected to more than double output of its HBM4 and HBM4E DRAM
Samsung is expected to more than double its production of HBM4 and HBM4E high-bandwidth memory DRAM next year, according to a report citing sources. The expansion targets surging demand for advanced memory used in AI accelerators, where Samsung competes with SK Hynix and Micron for supply deals with chip and data-center customers.
- 2America Trails on Memory Chips as Tariffs Add Pressure▼America Is Behind on Memory Chips—and Tariffs Threaten to Make Things Harder
The United States lags in domestic production of memory chips, an industry dominated by Asian manufacturers such as Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron's rivals in South Korea and Taiwan. A new analysis argues that the Trump administration's tariff policies risk making the situation worse by raising costs for imported components and complicating efforts to build up US chip manufacturing capacity.
- 3US lags in memory chips as tariffs complicate catch-up●America Is Behind on Memory Chips--and Tariffs Threaten to Make Things Harder https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/america-is-beh
The Wall Street Journal reports that the United States has fallen behind in producing memory chips, a critical component for AI and electronics dominated by Asian manufacturers such as Samsung and SK Hynix. The piece argues that tariffs, intended to bolster domestic industry, could raise costs for US chipmakers and equipment buyers, making efforts to rebuild American memory-chip capacity even harder.
- 4KOSPI drops below 7,000 as chip stocks slide after Chuseok●KOSPI falls below 7,000 as chip heavyweights slide after Chuseok
South Korea's KOSPI index fell below the 7,000 mark in trading after the Chuseok holiday, driven by declines in major semiconductor shares such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. The pullback follows a strong run for Korean chipmakers this year, with investors weighing profit-taking and global chip demand concerns as markets reopen after the break.
- 5SK hynix weighs US memory chip production▼SK hynix considers memory chip production in the US — Korea Herald
SK hynix is considering producing memory chips in the United States, according to the Korea Herald. The South Korean chipmaker, a leading supplier of HBM and DRAM to companies like Nvidia, has so far concentrated manufacturing in Korea and China. A US move would align with Washington's push to bring advanced semiconductor production onshore through incentives and tariffs, though the company has reportedly not made a final decision.
- 6SK Hynix Shares Fall on Solidigm US IPO Plans▼SK Hynix Shares Fall as Solidigm’s Potential US IPO Sours Mood
Shares in SK Hynix declined amid news that Solidigm, its US-based NAND flash storage subsidiary, may pursue an initial public offering in the United States. The prospect of the listing appeared to dampen sentiment around the South Korean chipmaker, weighing on its stock despite ongoing strength in memory-chip demand.
- 7Memory Chip Stocks Rally as U.S.-Iran Strikes Halt▼MU, SNDK, SKHY, DRAM: Memory Chip Stocks Surge In Relief Rally As U.S.-Iran Reportedly Halt Strikes
Memory chip stocks including Micron (MU), SanDisk (SNDK) and SK hynix-linked names surged in a broad relief rally after reports that the United States and Iran have halted strikes. Investors read the de-escalation as a signal to buy back into risk assets, with semiconductor and memory names among the standout gainers as geopolitical tensions ease.
- 8Samsung and SK Join the Co-Packaged Optics Race for AI Chips▼[ChipTalk] AI Semiconductors Now Compete at the Speed of Light...Samsung and SK Join the CPO Race
Korean chip giants Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are moving into co-packaged optics (CPO) technology, which links AI semiconductors using optical connections to boost data transfer speeds and energy efficiency. As AI computing demand surges, Korean media describe the shift as a new race in which chips compete 'at the speed of light', alongside global players developing similar interconnect solutions.
- 9Nvidia's Huang Pledges to Double Chip Supply, Securing 37% of HBM▼Huang’s 2x Chip Vow Locks Up 37% of HBM Supply [2026]
Jensen Huang has reportedly committed to doubling chip supply, a move that would lock up roughly 37% of the world's high-bandwidth memory (HBM) output for 2026. The pledge underscores Nvidia's aggressive push to secure memory for its AI accelerators amid shortages, leaving rival chipmakers competing for the remaining HBM capacity from suppliers like SK Hynix, Samsung and Micron.
