Samsung has recently increased its emphasis on chip manufacturing. According to a recent news, the company, which is rumored to rival NVIDIA by developing an artificial intelligence chip, is now taking another important step. So much so that it is preparing to double its factory investment in the US. Here are the details…
Samsung is doubling its investment in the US: It will build a chip manufacturing plant!
In 2021, Samsung made an investment of 20 billion dollars to build a chip factory in the US state of Texas. According to the information, the company will increase its total investment to $44 billion by taking advantage of the US CHIPS Act.
For those who don’t know, the CHIPS Act, which the US enacted last year, aims to increase semiconductor production and thus alleviate chip shortages. It also aims to attract companies to the US. So far, Intel and NVIDIA have received support under this law. Now Samsung is joining these companies.
Samsung will expand the existing factory using the total investment, which will increase to 44 billion dollars with the CHIPS Act. This will include the construction of a second chip manufacturing plant, a packaging facility and a research and development area.
Samsung will try to increase its market share in the chip manufacturing sector with the help of the US. So what do you think about this issue? Don’t forget to share your opinions with us in the Comments section below.
