Looks like SK hynix wants to make memory chips on US soil and it could work with Intel to do it
Or so the rumour mill says.
The United States administration, particularly under President Trump, has been pushing for foreign chip manufacturing to move closer to home. One potential solution could involve SK hynix setting up shop in the US to manufacture chips, possibly in collaboration with Intel. According to three sources familiar with the matter, Reuters reports that SK hynix may be considering this move to avoid tariffs and benefit from US manufacturing.
Intel, which has faced challenges in recent years and even ceded a 10% stake to the US government, could see relief from the potential joint venture. A joint venture between SK hynix and Intel, along with cloud firms, could provide shared risk and infrastructure for both companies. This development is seen as more significant than the initial reports of SK hynix considering Intel Foundry for its base dies.
While the deal is still a rumor, it could provide a much-needed boost to Intel's share price and potentially ease pressure on SK hynix to move its production closer to the US.
