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
Apple is preparing to challenge Samsung Electronics in one of the few smartphone segments that is still growing. Entering foldables seven years behind its Korean rival, its ability to catch up may hinge on pricing. Apple has scheduled a special event at its California headquarters for Sept. 9. Industry watchers expect the company to unveil its first foldable iPhone, widely dubbed the iPhone Ultra, alongside its iPhone 18 Pro lineup. The foldable is expected to have passport-like proportions, sim
Yangtze Memory Technologies, China’s largest maker of NAND flash memory, has crossed a threshold where Samsung Electronics and SK hynix can no longer dismiss it as a low-end challenger. YMTC filed on Aug. 21 for a Shanghai initial public offering that could raise about $4.9 billion, less than two weeks after Counterpoint Research put it at 14 percent of global NAND shipments in the second quarter, level with Japan’s Kioxia and behind only Samsung and the combined SK hynix-Solidigm group. China’s
