Smartphones Are Set to Get More Expensive Again as AI Data Centers Snap Up Memory Years in Advance
The next few years could bring another increase in smartphone prices. The reason will be a shortage of memory chips, a significant portion of whose production capacity has already been reserved by AI data center operators. SanDisk has effectively allocated most of its future production volumes among major customers before the products have even been […]

SK Hynix just had its best quarter ever — and says chips will stay scarce until 2030
The memory giant shattered its own records with an 80% operating margin and revenue topping 100 trillion won for the first time, then delivered a stark warning: demand will outpace supply for years. With AI driving insatiable appetite for high-bandwidth memory, SK Hynix is locking in multiyear deals and betting billions on new fabs to keep up.

SK hynix needs a Trump 2027 deal to expand its Dalian NAND fab
South Korean memory chipmakers must secure new United States licenses by year-end to keep shipping top-end American tools to their Chinese factories, after the Trump administration scrapped blanket permits last year. To win the permits, SK hynix and Samsung must promise to build or expand factories

The Frontier Express: when Samsung gets money
For most of the past thirty years, the semiconductor industry ran on a remarkably clean division of labor. Everybody knew their place. The caricature was almost this simple: TSMC printed. Memory makers crammed capacitors. Designers drew. And the money followed the drawing. TSMC took designs from Nvi

China's memory chip challenger just rattled the whole sector
CXMT's announcement of a denser 4F square chip design sent Micron, SK Hynix, and Samsung all sliding — a sign investors are taking China's memory ambitions seriously. With AI driving insatiable demand for high-capacity memory, a new low-cost rival entering the space could shake up the market dynamics that have powered massive gains this year.
