SK Hynix Plans a $4 Billion Chip Packaging Facility in Indiana

[btarunr]

SK Hynix is planning a large $4 billion chip-packaging and testing facility in Indiana, USA. The company is still in the planning stage of the decision to invest in the US. "[the company] is reviewing its advanced chip packaging investment in the US, but hasn't made a final decision yet," a company spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal. The primary product focus for this plant will be stacked HBM memory meant to be consumed by the AI GPU and self-driving automobile industries. The plant could also focus on other exotic memory types, such as high-density server memory; and perhaps even compute-in-memory. The plant is expected to start operations in 2028, and will create up to 1,000 skilled jobs. SK Hynix is counting for state- and federal tax incentives to propel this investment; under government initiatives such as the CHIPS Act. SK Hynix is a significant supplier of HBM to NVIDIA for its AI GPUs. Its HBM3E features in the latest NVIDIA "Blackwell" GPUs.

wait until you find out how bad the area is they want to build the plant. I been to the area where they plan to build this. It's effing horrible area. Number 1 crime rate South Chicago/Gary Indiana is less than two hours away and that trickles to this area on occasion, and there is a corn syrup factory that makes the entire city smell like ass 24/7 depending how the wind is blowing that day. lol

People from Taiwan or other high paying jobs will go live there for two months and be like nope, we bouncin the fuck out of here, lmao

That's sad to hear. It sounds like a place that could really benefit from economic revitalization.

Perhaps they plan to buy the stink factory too, then shut it down & demolish it, in favor of building a tech campus for doing something more useful, other than smelling up the planet
