Samsung plans to begin construction of a second semiconductor fabrication plant in Taylor, Texas in November 2026, even before its first Texas factory starts operations later this year, aiming for mass production by 2030 to meet growing high-performance computing and AI silicon demand.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Samsung's second Texas fab signals a bet on US chipmaking demand that you can't ignore if you're building AI or HPC hardware. Locking real estate early means your supply options in the US will tighten as this race plays out in the 2-nanometer node.
