Samsung, SK Hynix chip plan has investors looking beyond $1.3 trillion headline
South Korea put a number on its AI-chip plan: 800 trillion won from Samsung Electronics Co, SK Hynix Inc and suppliers to build four new fab sites in the southwest. That’s still a big wager, but well below the $1.3 trillion headline that moved memory shares ahead of the announcement. The figure is also less than the earlier 2,000 trillion won group total floated before Monday’s presidential briefing.
