- 4US lags in memory chips as tariffs complicate catch-up●America Is Behind on Memory Chips--and Tariffs Threaten to Make Things Harder https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/america-is-beh
The Wall Street Journal reports that the United States has fallen behind in producing memory chips, a critical component for AI and electronics dominated by Asian manufacturers such as Samsung and SK Hynix. The piece argues that tariffs, intended to bolster domestic industry, could raise costs for US chipmakers and equipment buyers, making efforts to rebuild American memory-chip capacity even harder.
- 5Samsung and SK Join the Co-Packaged Optics Race for AI Chips▼[ChipTalk] AI Semiconductors Now Compete at the Speed of Light...Samsung and SK Join the CPO Race
Korean chip giants Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are moving into co-packaged optics (CPO) technology, which links AI semiconductors using optical connections to boost data transfer speeds and energy efficiency. As AI computing demand surges, Korean media describe the shift as a new race in which chips compete 'at the speed of light', alongside global players developing similar interconnect solutions.
- 6Nvidia's Huang Pledges to Double Chip Supply, Securing 37% of HBM▼Huang’s 2x Chip Vow Locks Up 37% of HBM Supply [2026]
Jensen Huang has reportedly committed to doubling chip supply, a move that would lock up roughly 37% of the world's high-bandwidth memory (HBM) output for 2026. The pledge underscores Nvidia's aggressive push to secure memory for its AI accelerators amid shortages, leaving rival chipmakers competing for the remaining HBM capacity from suppliers like SK Hynix, Samsung and Micron.
