[Science and Technology | Daily Highlights] 20 years of 200 billion US dollars, I saw news that Samsung Electronics will invest in the United States to build 11 chip factories, thereby actively supporting the United States' chip manufacturing strategy. People in the industry commented that the appearance of being rich and powerful is really good-looking, and the next step is to implement it.
Judging from the latest reliable news, Samsung Electronics has submitted materials for tax relief to Texas on July 22. It is considering building 11 factories within 20 years, 2 in Austin and 9 in Taylor. The total expenditure is expected to be as high as $200 billion. It currently has a chip factory in Austin, is building another, and is starting to build a factory in Taylor. At the same time, Samsung Electronics' production lines in the United States have been in operation for more than 40 years, employing more than 20,000 American employees.
The Taylor factory construction goal is to start operations in 2024, focusing on next-generation chip technology manufacturing in the fields of 5G, artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC), further promoting the progress of semiconductor solutions, and building greater manufacturing capabilities.
For Taylor, who is less than 30 minutes from Austin, the Texas capital, Samsung Electronics' investment will bring thousands of new jobs and valuable training opportunities. Combined with Samsung Electronics' existing manufacturing facility in Austin, the facility will create exciting new opportunities for people in Central Texas in the coming years.
Statistics show that since 1996, Samsung Electronics has invested a total of US$18 billion in Austin, USA. Samsung plans to invest at least $17 billion in the Taylor plant expansion, including $6 billion for construction and plant improvements and $11 billion for machinery and equipment.
Notably, in 2021, the Samsung Electronics Austin semiconductor segment has a total economic impact of $6.3 billion in Central Texas, supporting nearly 10,000 jobs and generating more than $546 million in wages. At the same time, it also drives additional investment in the region and gains exponential growth, promoting the economic development of the region.
As many countries around the world have launched chip strategic plans, they are introducing preferential policies to revitalize the development of the chip industry in their own countries, such as tax and fee reductions, etc., while boosting the chip strategy, attracting global chip manufacturers to build more The new factory has become an important measure among them. In the actual situation of global chip shortage, the chip revitalization strategy has also been implemented in many countries, and some specific important things can be seen happening. However, the investment of US$200 billion is not a small amount. For Samsung Electronics and even all major chip manufacturers in the world, it is a decisive change in the pattern. It can be seen that with an investment of about 200 billion US dollars in 20 years, Samsung Electronics has great ambitions to build a new factory in the United States.
It can be seen from this that Samsung Electronics is already making new adjustments to the advancement of its global chip strategy. It is worth looking forward to whether it will make more truly surprising moves in the future.
In addition, chip giants such as Intel, Nvidia, Hynix Semiconductor, Micron Technology, Toshiba, AMD, etc. have all launched their own chip strategies and put them into action. The changes in the chip pattern in the next five years may undergo new reconstructions, so who will lead the pack is worth looking forward to.
