Samsung Raises Advanced Chip Prices by 15% as AI Boom Gives Foundry Business New Leverage

Samsung Electronics is raising prices for some advanced contract chipmaking services by as much as 15% as the global artificial intelligence boom tightens manufacturing capacity and gives the South Korean technology giant greater pricing power in a business long dominated by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.
The price increases mark an important shift for Samsung’s foundry operation, which has struggled with weak utilization, production yields and a persistent technology gap with TSMC. After years of losses, the business is now benefiting from the surge in demand for AI processors and high-performance computing chips.
