SK Hynix reportedly in talks with Intel to build memory chips in US
SK Hynix told TechCrunch the company hasn't finalized any plans or arrangements yet.
South Korean memory chip leader SK Hynix is reportedly in talks with Intel to produce RAM chips in the United States for the first time, according to Reuters. The companies have explored several options, including SK Hynix leasing space at Intel's planned factory in Ohio for manufacturing. They are also considering a joint venture potentially involving cloud-service providers.
SK Hynix spokesperson stated that no decisions have been made regarding the scenarios mentioned in the report. The company is currently building an advanced packaging and research facility in Indiana for AI chips, with mass production starting in 2029. The move comes as the U.S. seeks to boost domestic chip production amid a global shortage and the Trump administration's efforts to tighten semiconductor imports.
