Grupul sud-coreean Samsung a majorat preţurile pentru fabricarea de cipuri cu până la 15%, pe fondul exploziei cererii

Samsung Electronics has raised prices for advanced chip manufacturing services by up to 15% due to strong demand for AI chips. This increase highlights the company's struggle to meet orders from Chinese clients while also serving American customers. The price hikes mark a turnaround for Samsung's contract chip production, which faced losses in 2022. The company has increased prices for 4nm chips by 10-15% for clients in China and the US, while prices for 5nm wafers have also risen. Analysts suggest that as TSMC faces capacity constraints, Samsung may gain profitability in its chip production business sooner than expected.
