SK Hynix in Talks with Intel to Manufacture Memory Chips in US
South Korea's SK Hynix is in exploratory talks with Intel about manufacturing memory chips in the US for the first time. Potential arrangements include leasing part of Intel's Ohio chipmaking facility or forming a joint venture with Intel and major cloud firms. The deal aims to support US semiconductor production amid growing demand driven by AI and data centers. SK Hynix has not finalized any agreement, and potential opposition from Seoul remains a consideration. Intel's Ohio project faces delays, with production expected by 2030.
