Shinsegae Group Chairman Chung Yong-jin joined US Vice President JD Vance and leading technology executives in Washington on Thursday for the launch of a government-backed expertise program, as the Korean retail group expands its role in a US-led AI supply chain initiative. According to Shinsegae Group on Friday, Chung attended the launch of Foundry School at the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace at the invitation of US Vice President JD Vance and the US Department of State. Foundry School, led
LG Electronics’ reported talks to take on part of SK hynix’s next-generation enterprise SSD controller design have ended after the memory maker decided to do the work in-house, according to local media reports. The two companies held several meetings in July and August over outsourcing part of the controller’s physical backend design to LG Electronics, the reports said, citing semiconductor industry sources. The work involves turning a chip’s circuit design into the detailed physical layout need
Samsung Electronics lifted its share of global high-bandwidth memory revenue to 33 percent in the second quarter, narrowing the gap with market leader SK hynix to 17 percentage points. Samsung’s share jumped from 21 percent in the first quarter as it expanded shipments of its latest HBM products to major global technology companies, Counterpoint Research said Friday. SK hynix retained the top spot with 50 percent of revenue in the April-June period, down from 64 percent a year earlier. Micron Te
“The Indiana fab will become a gateway to deliver the first ‘Made in USA’ HBM products,” SK hynix CEO Kwak Noh-jung said at the groundbreaking ceremony on Aug. 26. Those products, however, will begin in South Korea. SK hynix will make the DRAM wafers at its Korean fabs, ship them across the Pacific and then stack, package and test them in West Lafayette, Indiana. The $4 billion-plus facility, the company's first HBM production base in the US, is due to begin mass production in the second half of
A bimanual humanoid robot places cushioning paper into a shipping box at CJ Logistics’ Olive Young fulfillment center in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province. CJ Logistics has deployed two such robots in its first humanoid-powered logistics operation and plans to expand their roles to picking, sorting, inspection and packaging as it develops all-purpose logistics robots using physical artificial intelligence.

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
