[SK Hynix and Intel in Talks for Collaboration, Plans to Produce Memory Chips in the U.S. for the First Time] According to Reuters, sources familiar with the matter revealed that South Korea's SK Hynix is in discussions with Intel (INTC.O) regarding a deal to produce memory chips in the United States for the first time. One potential option is for SK Hynix to lease part of Intel's long-planned chip manufacturing facility in Ohio; another option is to form a joint venture with Intel and major cloud service companies eager to secure memory chip supplies. The deal would ease pressure on Intel and mark a significant victory for the Trump administration. However, sources indicated that potential opposition from South Korea could pose a major obstacle, as these technologies are considered sensitive. One source stated that the negotiations are still exploratory, emphasizing that no decisions have been made yet. If an agreement is reached, it remains unclear what type of chips SK Hynix might produce in Ohio.
