Ask what Korea is talking about.

TSMC has officially denied reports that it is preparing to enter the memory semiconductor market, reaffirming its commitment to its core foundry business. The denial follows reports from The Information that TSMC was reviewing 3D DRAM production at the request of its largest customer, Nvidia, with Micron alumnus Hsu Kuo-chin, TSMC's head of advanced packaging, leading the effort. A TSMC spokesperson said, "TSMC is always focused on its core business, semiconductor foundry," according to Chosun Ilbo and Dong-a Ilbo. Korean media note that Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are watching closely, with Maeil Business Newspaper reporting that TSMC's move into memory manufacturing would be its first in 26 years, driven by the growing importance of memory in the AI era.
