SK Hynix to spend $64 billion on chip plants under broader AI-driven investment plan
Summary
The projects in the country's central city of Cheongju outlined on Thursday come under a $2.1 trillion plan unveiled by the chipmaker and its local rival Samsung Electronics on Monday that also included a new chip cluster in the southwest and existing projects.
Why It Matters
Samsung's move reshapes the global chip supply chain and the race for advanced-node leadership. For South Korea, it is a signal worth tracking: it shapes who supplies, who scales, and who sets the standard over the next five years.
