Künstliche Intelligenz: Insider: SK Hynix erwägt Chipproduktion bei Intel in den USA

Seoul - According to insiders, South Korean chipmaker SK Hynix is discussing with US company Intel about potentially producing memory chips in the United States for the first time. According to three sources familiar with the matter, SK Hynix is considering renting a portion of Intel's planned factory in the US state of Ohio. Another possibility, according to two of these sources, is a joint venture with Intel and large cloud companies that are interested in a secure supply of memory chips.

A successful conclusion would be a major victory for the US administration of President Donald Trump, which is increasing pressure on chip manufacturers due to rising demand in the United States for artificial intelligence. However, a major obstacle could be potential resistance from the Seoul government. For SK Hynix, manufacturing in the United States would be attractive despite higher costs due to pressure from customers and the US government.

US Trade Representative Howard Lutnick had threatened up to 100 percent tariffs if companies from South Korea and Taiwan do not commit to more production in the United States.
