Today’s semiconductor news highlights the rapid expansion of the AI semiconductor market and the resulting upheaval in manufacturing and supply chains.In the foundry industry in particular, Intel—backed by design wins at the 18A and 14A nodes—has secured major customers such as AMD, NVIDIA, and OpenAI, forming a powerful counterweight to TSMC’s monopoly.Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics is also stepping up its aggressive offensive—with orders from Anthropic and the start of mass production of Tesla’s AI5 chip at the 2-nanometer node—and is focusing on regaining market share alongside accelerating HBM development.Furthermore, amid lingering geopolitical risks, the U.S. government is showing signs of expanding H200 export licenses to Chinese companies such as ZTE and Maginfra, signaling a readjustment of the balance between U.S.-China technology restrictions and market liberalization.Furthermore, within China, technological innovation is progressing even under constraints, as evidenced by Dongfang Sancore’s announcement of an AI chip featuring a proprietary architecture that does not incorporate HBM. AI demand is strongly driving growth across the entire industry, with memory revenue in the Taiwanese supply chain reaching approximately four times the previous year’s level.

Main News
- Intel Foundry Secures AMD, NVIDIA, and OpenAI, Making Strides at the 18A and 14A Nodes
Intel Foundry has secured design orders from industry leaders such as AMD, NVIDIA, and OpenAI for its next-generation 18A and 14A process nodes.In particular, the 18A node is already in the mass production ramp-up phase and has achieved a high yield rate of 98 percent using EMIB packaging technology. Intel is emerging as a strong competitor in the cutting-edge process market—which TSMC has historically dominated—and is accelerating the monetization of its foundry business and the expansion of its market share. - Samsung Wins Order for Anthropic’s AI Chips, Aims for a Comeback with 2-Nanometer Process
It has been reported that Samsung Foundry has won an order to manufacture chips for Anthropic, a company gaining attention for its AI model development.While NVIDIA holds an overwhelming share of the AI semiconductor market, major players such as Google and OpenAI are increasingly active in designing custom chips. Using this contract as a springboard, Samsung aims to strengthen its 2-nanometer process production capacity to resolve the current chip shortage, while also working to bring its foundry business out of the red and restore its competitiveness. - Samsung begins 2-nanometer mass production of Tesla’s AI5 chip at its Texas factory
Samsung Electronics has begun mass production of Tesla’s next-generation AI chip, AI5, using a 2-nanometer process, at its factory in Texas, USA. This is part of Samsung’s double foundry strategy (separating “fabless” design from “contract manufacturing”) and marks a significant milestone in demonstrating manufacturing capabilities at cutting-edge nodes. The adoption by tech giants like Tesla could enhance the reliability of Samsung’s 2-nanometer technology and give it an advantage in the upcoming customer acquisition competition in the AI semiconductor market. - The U.S. government has approved the procurement of high-end AI chips from three Chinese companies.
The U.S. Department of Commerce has authorized three companies—ITE KANGXUN TELECOM under ZTE, server manufacturer Maginfra, and Kingsoft Cloud subsidiary—to procure advanced AI chips from NVIDIA and AMD. High-performance chips such as the H200 are targeted, following the approval for Alibaba and Tencent in May this year. While maintaining national security concerns, the U.S. government continues to strategically expand its export permit list, taking into account its technological leadership and the commercial interests of U.S. semiconductor companies. - SK hynix Expands Global Investor Base by Listing ADR on NASDAQ
South Korean memory giant SK hynix has listed its ADR (American Depositary Receipts) on the NASDAQ market in the United States. The aim is to establish itself as a “Core AI Partner” in the AI memory market, aiming to raise funds and enhance brand power in the United States, the world’s largest capital market. With the explosive growth in AI demand, SK hynix will strengthen its capital base for further business expansion, leveraging its leadership in the HBM market, to build trust from global investors. - China’s Dongfang Suanxin Unveils 14-Nanometer AI Chip Without HBM
Shanghai-based semiconductor startup Dongfang Suanxin has unveiled its proprietary 14-nanometer AI chip, which does not incorporate HBM (High-Bandwidth Memory).To circumvent U.S. export restrictions on advanced chip manufacturing technology, the company has adopted a new chip architecture and claims to have achieved memory bandwidth that surpasses that of NVIDIA’s H200. The strategy of Chinese companies to counter challenges such as HBM supply shortages and procurement restrictions through design innovations is drawing attention. - Samsung Steps Up Hiring Across the Entire HBM Process to Accelerate Next-Generation Development
Samsung Electronics is significantly expanding its hiring across all stages of the process to launch mass production of HBM4 and accelerate the development of HBM4E and HBM5.The company is expanding its workforce of specialists across all stages—from design to packaging, reliability testing, and customer support—in preparation for intensifying competition in the AI memory market. As the generational transition of HBM accelerates, Samsung aims to regain market share and establish a stable supply system by simultaneously improving development speed and yield rates. - Intel aims to rebuild AI memory, challenging HBM leadership with XBM and ZAM
Intel is aiming to reshape the AI memory market by developing new memory solutions using its proprietary XBM and ZAM technologies. We are preparing to challenge existing HBM leaders like SK hynix and Micron with patent strategies and new architectures. Within the roadmap toward 2030, this strategy aims to enhance the overall competitiveness of Intel’s AI systems by optimizing memory and processor integration and eliminating AI processing bottlenecks. - Taiwan’s semiconductor supply chain sees memory revenue quadruple year-on-year due to AI demand.
In June, Taiwan’s semiconductor supply chain saw a significant increase in overall revenue due to the rapid expansion of AI demand. Memory-related revenue, in particular, quadrupled year-on-year, driven by demand for AI servers and data centers. The entire Taiwanese semiconductor ecosystem, from IP design to packaging, is benefiting from the AI boom, and the industry is now focused on whether this growth trend will continue. - Samsung Reevaluates Its 2-Nanometer Strategy Following Order for Tesla’s AI5 Chip
Following Samsung Electronics’ start of mass production of Tesla’s AI5 chip using a 2-nanometer process, the industry is analyzing the effectiveness of the company’s dual-foundry strategy.While stabilizing yield rates in cutting-edge processes remains a challenge, securing major customers like Tesla serves as an indicator of Samsung’s technological maturity. Going forward, a key focus will be how the 2-nanometer process contributes to revenue in the battle for market share with TSMC.
