Rapid AI data center expansion is pushing Samsung Electronics and SK hynix to compete over high-capacity enterprise solid-state drives, as the AI infrastructure race moves toward storage solutions. For much of the AI boom, investment has focused on computing power required to accelerate AI model training, particularly graphics processing units (GPUs) and high-bandwidth memory (HBM). But as large language models become more complex and AI inference services expand, the industry faces another chal
Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics are using IFA 2026 in Berlin to show how they want AI to work across the home, not just inside individual appliances. Samsung opened its main IFA exhibition Wednesday at Humboldt Carre in central Berlin, ahead of the trade show's Friday opening at Messe Berlin. The company is presenting "AI Living" across TVs, home appliances and Galaxy devices. Samsung first introduced the broader "Your Companion to AI Living" theme at CES in January. At IFA, it is bringin
Gaon Cable is targeting the AI data-center power infrastructure market with low-friction distribution cables designed to cut installation time and costs, the company said Wednesday. The cables feature an improved outer sheath that reduces friction during installation by about 30 percent compared to conventional products. Gaon Cable said this can extend the cable-pulling distance by up to 45 percent while lowering labor requirements and construction costs. Distribution cables are used in certain
Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics are scaling up their data-center cooling businesses as power-hungry AI chips turn heat management into a critical infrastructure bottleneck. Data centers have traditionally relied on air cooling. But advanced artificial intelligence accelerators and increasingly dense server racks are pushing those systems toward their practical limits. Nvidia’s B200 and other next-generation chips consume more than 1,000 watts each, accelerating the shift toward liquid coo
Chinese memory chipmaker CXMT has begun producing HBM3E in small quantities and testing it with domestic AI chip developers, according to The Information on Monday. The step could increase competitive pressure on Samsung Electronics and SK hynix even as the Korean memory leaders remain ahead in cutting-edge HBM technology and mass production. Alibaba Group’s chip unit T-Head and Beijing-based Cambricon Technologies are testing CXMT’s high-bandwidth memory with their processors, The Information r
LG Energy Solution said Tuesday it had signed a long-term supply agreement with US-based Smackover Lithium to secure lithium carbonate, strengthening its local battery material supply chain for the North American energy storage market. Beginning in 2029, LG Energy Solution will receive 8,000 metric tons of lithium carbonate annually for 10 years. The total 80,000-ton supply will provide enough cathode materials to manufacture batteries for approximately 1.8 million high-performance EVs capable o
China’s CXMT has announced mass production of LPDDR6 memory for Xiaomi’s upcoming 18 Fold, moving ahead of Samsung Electronics and SK hynix in publicly confirming both production and a commercial handset deployment for the next-generation mobile DRAM. CXMT said Saturday that its LPDDR6 had “officially entered mass production” and would debut in the 18 Fold in September. Xiaomi founder and CEO Lei Jun separately confirmed that the company’s new Xring O3 processor would support CXMT’s LPDDR6 and t
Samsung Electro-Mechanics is expected to extend price increases for multilayer ceramic capacitors to direct manufacturing customers in the fourth quarter, as strong AI-related demand absorbs production capacity and reduces supply of mainstream parts. Market researcher TrendForce said Thursday that the South Korean electronic components maker is expected to raise prices of consumer-grade X5R MLCCs by an average of 25 to 30 percent for OEM and ODM customers. Prices of higher-end X6S products used
Innometry said Friday it was accelerating the mass-production deployment of its next-generation 1PASS-RING CT system, featuring a contactless scanning design that eliminates physical handling to protect battery cells from potential damage. Unlike traditional CT systems that rely on robotic arms or grippers to physically rotate battery cells during scanning, the advanced CT uses a ring-shaped scanner where the X-ray assembly rotates around a stationary cell. The system incorporates a straight-thr
SK hynix on Thursday formally launched its advanced chip packaging project in Indiana, a facility set to produce the first high bandwidth memory made in the US. The groundbreaking ceremony was held at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, two years after SK hynix announced the investment in April 2024. The plant is expected to complete its clean room in October 2028 and begin mass production in the third quarter of 2029. Once operational, the facility will take DRAM chips produced in Kor
