Sources indicate that SK Hynix, a prominent South Korean company, is currently engaged in talks with Intel about manufacturing memory chips in the United States. The potential strategies under consideration encompass leasing a portion of Intel's production capabilities at its Ohio chip facility or forming a joint venture with Intel and major cloud computing enterprises. At present, these negotiations are still in their preliminary phase, with no definitive decisions reached yet. Should the discussions involve cutting-edge memory technologies like DRAM or High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), they may require scrutiny from the South Korean government. SK Hynix has clarified that it is evaluating various alternatives, including the expansion of its production sites, but no concrete plans have been finalized. Meanwhile, Intel has affirmed its commitment to ongoing investment in the development of its Ohio plant.
