Episode Description:
Samsung Electronics just laid out a plan to double its most advanced AI memory chip output next year.
Samsung Electronics plans to raise average monthly HBM4 and HBM4E production to 250,000 units next year, with sixth and seventh-generation chips making up more than 80% of the mix. The company is also weighing HBM4 stacks of up to 165 layers, while glass-carrier substrate demand tied to the ramp-up is expected to grow 2.5 times. Separately, a survey of 20 foreign exchange experts pointed to the won settling in the 1,300-to-1,350 range against the dollar in the near term. Together, the stories point to a strengthening chip cycle alongside a steadier currency backdrop.
