[SK Hynix in Talks with Intel on Agreement to Produce Memory Chips in the U.S. for the First Time] According to a report by Jinse Finance citing 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 plan involves SK Hynix leasing part of Intel's long-planned chip manufacturing facility in Ohio; another option is forming a joint venture with Intel and major cloud service providers eager to secure a stable supply of memory chips. The deal would ease pressure on Intel and represent a significant win for the Trump administration. However, sources noted that potential opposition from South Korea could pose a major obstacle, as these technologies are considered sensitive. One source stated that the talks 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 would produce in Ohio. Its product lineup includes DRAM for servers, PCs, and smartphones, NAND flash memory for long-term storage, and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) used in AI processors, where it is a leading supplier.
