Samsung's New Texas Plant Will Reportedly Make Memory Parts for Nvidia, AMD
A Korean newspaper report, relayed by Reuters, says Samsung's second Taylor plant would make high-bandwidth memory components, with mass production expected in 2030.
Samsung Electronics will reportedly make components for AMD and Nvidia memory chips at its second factory in Taylor, Texas, according to South Korea's Maeil Business Newspaper, in a report relayed by Reuters on Tuesday.
Maeil, citing industry sources, said the plant would produce base dies for high-bandwidth memory, or HBM, chips. The reported plans have not been confirmed by Samsung, which declined to comment to Reuters.
Construction is due to formally begin this month, according to Maeil. The newspaper reported that orders already cover the plant's entire planned output, with AMD accounting for most of the secured volume.
The facility would use Samsung's advanced 2-nanometer manufacturing technology and cover about 2.7 million square feet, the report said. That would make it roughly 1.5 times the size of Samsung's first Taylor facility, which has a contract with Tesla.
Equipment installation is expected to begin in February 2029, with mass production targeted for 2030, according to Maeil. Those dates and customer allocations remain reported plans rather than company-confirmed commitments.
