Samsung Electronics and SK hynix are expected to benefit from rising GDDR7 DRAM prices, as Nvidia is reportedly considering raising graphics card prices by 20 to 30 percent amid growing pressure from component costs. Nvidia is weighing the increase to reflect higher prices for graphics processing units and GDDR7 memory, according to industry sources Monday. If implemented, it would mark the US chipmaker’s third graphics card price adjustment this year, following increases in January and May. The
Samsung Electro-Mechanics reported its highest quarterly revenue on record for the April-June period, with sales of multilayer ceramic capacitors for AI servers and high-end semiconductor package substrates driving both growth and profitability.

Samsung Electronics’ semiconductor business delivered its strongest-ever second-quarter performance, fueled by booming demand for artificial intelligence server memory that pushed revenue and operating profit to record highs, though the recovery remains uneven across the company’s broader businesses. While the memory business is benefiting from the AI boom, Samsung’s foundry operations continue to lag behind Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and its mobile business is facing pressure from r
Samsung Electronics is accelerating its US chip expansion, bringing its first Taylor, Texas, foundry online this year and starting construction of a second fab by year-end as soaring AI demand strains advanced-chip capacity. Announcing record quarterly earnings Thursday, the chipmaker warned that the memory shortage is likely to worsen next year as leading-edge foundry capacity struggles to keep pace with surging demand, prompting it to accelerate expansion at its fab in Taylor.

"Samsung has accumulated a great deal of data through seven years of developin
LONDON — Samsung Electronics has rebuilt its Galaxy Z8 foldables around titanium and silicon-carbon, betting that a new display structure and battery can make them thinner, tougher and longer-lasting. The overhaul goes beyond individual components, with Samsung redesigning the display, hinge, battery and thermal management system as an integrated platform rather than upgrading each part separately. "You cannot create meaningful innovation by improving just one component," Moon Sung-hoon, head of
South Korea moved to cement its role in the global artificial intelligence supply chain Friday as Samsung Electronics and SK Group unveiled massive AI infrastructure partnerships with leading US technology companies under President Lee Jae Myung's "San Francisco AI Declaration." The initiatives, announced at the San Francisco AI Summit, form part of nearly $950 billion (about 1,390 trillion won) in planned cooperation spanning semiconductors, AI infrastructure, robotics and autonomous driving.
