China's largest DRAM maker, ChangXin Memory Technologies, is planning to introduce a new generation of server memory by year-end, but its expanding production capacity and growing customer base could pose a bigger threat to Korean chipmakers than its latest technological breakthrough. CXMT President Cao Kanyu said at a semiconductor conference in Shanghai on Oct. 10 that the company planned to introduce the new, smaller chips by the end of 2026, according to market researcher TrendForce. The chi
Samsung Electronics is committing more than $22.8 million to workforce development and community programs in Central Texas as rival TSMC explores a potential chip plant in the state, raising the stakes in the competition for skilled semiconductor workers. Samsung Austin Semiconductor announced the investment at its “Made in Texas: Boundless Opportunity” event, unveiling new technical training and internship programs aimed at building a local talent pipeline for its expanding operations in Austin
SINGAPORE — Singapore's cybersecurity chief called for continuous monitoring and closer cooperation between governments and businesses Thursday, offering insights as South Korea confronts a series of cyber intrusions targeting financial institutions. Gwenda Fong, chief executive of Singapore's Cyber Security Agency, said organizations must move beyond a "compliance-based mindset" centered on periodic security checks, particularly as artificial intelligence enables hackers to exploit vulnerabilit
South Korea's leading conglomerates are considering a multitrillion-won investment in US nuclear power company Westinghouse Electric, in a move that could give Korean businesses a stronger foothold in America's expanding nuclear energy market. But the proposed investment raises a central question: Will buying a stake in Westinghouse translate into construction and equipment contracts for Korean companies? SK Group, Samsung C&T, Hyundai Engineering & Construction and Doosan Enerbility are reviewi
Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong reportedly met with five top executives in Tokyo this week, fueling speculation over the company's semiconductor strategy in Japan and broader business priorities. According to industry sources Thursday, the executives traveled to Tokyo on Tuesday to meet Lee, who was already in Japan. The group included Vice Chairman Chung Hyun-ho, a longtime confidant of Lee; Park Hark-kyu, head of Samsung's business support office; Jun Young-hyun, head of the Device S
As Samsung Electronics, SK hynix and Micron Technology race to build new chip factories, concerns are growing that expansion to meet today's AI-driven memory shortage could eventually result in another damaging supply glut. But a leading Korean semiconductor expert argues that expanding capacity could give the industry's dominant players greater flexibility to respond to shifting demand — and potentially help Korean chipmakers regain market share lost to Chinese rivals. Kim Hyung-joon, head of t
SK hynix is expanding its AI memory strategy beyond high-bandwidth memory, developing new technologies to address growing data bottlenecks as artificial intelligence shifts toward more complex inference workloads. Ahn Hyun, president and chief development officer of SK hynix, outlined the company's next-generation memory road map during a keynote speech at SEDEX 2026, a semiconductor exhibition in Seoul, Wednesday. Ahn said rapid growth in AI inference is creating new challenges for memory syste
Four fingers or five? The answer could help determine which humanoid robots make it out of the lab and onto factory floors first. Hyundai Motor Group’s Boston Dynamics has settled on four fingers for its electric Atlas humanoid, concluding that a fifth adds cost and complexity without due benefit for industrial work. Tesla has taken the opposite approach with Optimus, giving it five fingers in pursuit of humanlike dexterity. The contrasting designs reveal two different bets on the humanoid marke
Six years after taking the helm, Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Chung Euisun is steering the South Korean automotive giant beyond vehicles toward physical AI. Since taking office on Oct. 14, 2020, Chung has overseen a sweeping transformation, expanding Hyundai Motor and Kia's electric and hybrid lineups, strengthening luxury brand Genesis and boosting profitability through a shift toward higher-margin vehicles. His next task centers on turning Hyundai Motor Group into a physical AI powerhou
South Korea will launch a dedicated semiconductor policy office next week to fast-track major chip investments and strengthen industry competitiveness as the US, China and Japan intensify their race for advanced chip production. The director-general-level office, to be established under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources, will oversee semiconductor policy, coordinate large-scale investments and implement a new industry-support law, following Cabinet approval of the reorganization on T
