SK Hynix is in early talks with Intel to manufacture advanced memory chips such as DRAM and HBM in the United States for the first time, driven by US pressure to localize semiconductor production amid geopolitical tensions and trade tariff threats.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors, and 2 sources have reported it.
