## SK Hynix focuses on HBM memory with a massive investment SK Hynix has announced an investment of $12.9 billion to build a new production hub in Cheongju, South Korea. The plant will be entirely dedicated to advanced packaging and testing of next-generation HBM (High Bandwidth Memory). ## A campus dedicated to memory for AI The new facility is conceived as a campus dedicated to HBM memory, designed to support the growing demand for high-performance memory, crucial for artificial intelligence applications. The investment aims to ensure that SK Hynix maintains its leading position in the HBM market, while addressing the memory shortage affecting the sector. ## The strategic role of HBM memory HBM memory is a fundamental component for high-performance computing systems, particularly for graphics processing units (GPUs) used in training artificial intelligence models. SK Hynix's ability to produce and supply advanced HBM memory is therefore strategic for the entire AI ecosystem.
