South Korea to the rescue: The world's biggest chipmakers will drop $590 billion

Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, two of the largest makers of memory chips on the planet, will invest a combined $590 billion alongside the South Korean government to build a sprawling new manufacturing complex in an effort to relieve the AI-driven shortage that has sent the price of computer memory soaring worldwide.

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, standing alongside Samsung Chairman Lee Jae-yong and SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, unveiled the plan on Monday at the Blue House in Seoul. The president announced plans to strengthen the country's leadership in semiconductors and expand its AI infrastructure through large-scale investments and new manufacturing capacity, saying South Korea must move faster than rivals to secure the technologies underpinning the AI era, according to CNBC (1).
