Samsung Electronics plans to invest VND39 trillion (approx. US$1.5 billion) in a new semiconductor testing facility in northern Vietnam, according to documents reviewed by Reuters, marking the company's first chip testing plant in the country as global memory demand surges amid the AI boom.
Samsung Electronics is reportedly preparing to allocate much of its Pyeongtaek P4 cleanroom capacity to next-generation high-bandwidth memory (HBM) in 2027, a move that could tighten the supply of general-purpose DRAM as memory makers shift more production toward higher-value AI server products.
