[News] Memory Giants’ HBM Cleanroom Race: Samsung & SK hynix Fast-Track, Micron Acquires

What happened

Samsung and SK hynix are accelerating HBM-related cleanroom construction timelines by up to six months, targeting earlier 2027-2028 production starts. Micron is acquiring an existing 300mm fab to bring new DRAM capacity online over a year faster than greenfield construction. Watch: Aggressive capacity ramp-up signals strong HBM demand but also increases future supply, creating uncertainty for medium-term pricing.
