SK Hynix said to be in talks with Intel about US memory chips deal
The deal would have South Korea's SK Hynix manufacture memory chips on US soil for the first time.
South Korea's SK Hynix is reportedly in exploratory talks with Intel about a potential deal to manufacture memory chips in the United States for the first time, according to three sources familiar with the discussions. Both parties could benefit from such a deal as it would ease Intel's financial strain and provide a significant win for the Trump administration.
However, the talks face potential opposition from Seoul, which could view the deal as a threat to its national security interests. SK Hynix's product lineup includes DRAM chips, NAND flash memory chips, and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) used in AI processing units. The talks are still in the exploratory stage, and details about how the deal might be structured are still being reported for the first time.
