Kwack No-jeong, President of SK Hynix, stated, "Memory plays a core role in data processing in the era of artificial intelligence (AI)," adding, "We are preparing a customer-tailored memory platform unique to SK Hynix." This reflects the company's commitment to actively respond to the diverse customer demands in the AI era.

At a media conference held a day before the opening of CES 2024, the world's largest consumer electronics and IT exhibition, taking place from the 9th to the 12th (local time) in Las Vegas, USA, President Kwack explained, "As generative AI becomes widespread, the importance of memory will increase even more," and "As AI systems evolve rapidly, customer demands for memory are diversifying."

He said, "For some customers, capacity and power efficiency may be important, while others may prefer bandwidth and information processing capabilities," adding, "To meet these demands, we are preparing a customer-tailored memory platform unique to our company." He emphasized, "We are leading the 'Memory Centric AI Everywhere' era across various fields including AGI, data centers, mobile, and PCs."

SK Hynix supplies ultra-high-performance products such as HBM3 and HBM3E, high-performance high-bandwidth memory (HBM) DRAM products for AI, high-capacity server memory called High Capacity TSV DIMM, the world's fastest mobile memory LPDDR5T, and memory module products DIMM mainly used in PCs and servers.

President Kwack stated, "We will continue innovation with next-generation interfaces like CXL (Compute Express Link) for efficient utilization of high-performance computing systems, and QLC (Quad-Level Cell) storage which facilitates high-capacity implementation." He added, "This platform is designed to optimally integrate the company's AI memory technology and research and development (R&D) capabilities with each customer's needs," and "Through this, we will present new value beyond existing methods and provide optimal memory solutions specialized for each customer."

President Kwack also introduced plans to establish the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster, a new memory production base on a 4.15 million square meter site in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, with an investment exceeding 120 trillion won, stating, "We will supply the world's best memory in a timely manner in the AI era, which is experiencing explosive growth beyond existing customer demand."
