SK hynix plans to spend 19.1 trillion won on its Cheongju M17 semiconductor manufacturing plant.
· ComputeLabs Research · from the August 7, 2026 edition
SK hynix plans to spend 19.1 trillion won on its M17 semiconductor manufacturing plant in Cheongju, South Korea. The figure refers to planned expenditure on a manufacturing facility, not to GPU purchases, server capacity, or data-center power.
The supplied source identifies the plant and expenditure amount but does not specify the mix of memory products to be manufactured there. It also does not provide production-wafer capacity, process technology, construction milestones, or an operating start date.
A semiconductor-industry weekly review separately referenced SK hynix’s broader new-fab activity. However, the specific M17 figure supported by the source is 19.1 trillion won, and no currency conversion is provided.
