Artificial intelligence has created shortages across nearly every part of the semiconductor supply chain. GPUs have received most of the attention, but memory chips have quietly become just as critical. Every advanced AI accelerator depends on high-bandwidth memory (HBM), and manufacturers are struggling to keep pace. Even after investing billions of dollars to expand production, ... Micron Hit With Price-Fixing Lawsuit: Real Collusion or Simple Supply and Demand?
Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are making one of the biggest bets yet on the artificial intelligence boom with investments worth hundreds of billions of dollars, but the planned capacity buildout is stoking fears of a painful reckoning if AI spending cools. The tech giants won praise - and a deep bow - from President Lee Jae Myung after throwing their weight behind the government's semiconductor push, in an apparent departure from a previously restrained approach to capacity expansion shaped by decades of painful boom-and-bust cycles in the memory industry. Under the plan, the government hopes South Korea can double its memory chip production capacity within five years.
