Samsung Targets Late 2026 Launch for Advanced Texas Chip Fab Following Delays [Report]

Samsung Electronics has confirmed its large Texas chipmaking plant in Taylor is now targeting a late 2026 start for operations. That's a shift from earlier plans for the advanced semiconductor facility, following several reported delays, according to industry sources cited by DigiTimes. Announced back in 2021 with a $17 billion price tag aiming for cutting-edge chip production – the kind Apple relies on for its A-series and M-series processors – the facility was first expected to ramp up by the end of this year. Samsung says the new timeline allows more time to get customers lined up and ensure production yields are solid.Despite some speculation about potential slips into 2027, the company has reaffirmed the late 2026 goal. Samsung Austin Semiconductor (SAS), the US manufacturing arm, confirmed staff are already being brought onboard to support the eventual ramp-up.Financial filings indicate a significant increase in Samsung's construction-in-progress assets, reaching roughly $37.34 billion by the end of last year, a figure nearly triple that of 2021. A large portion of this increase is linked to the Taylor project, with SAS assets growing substantially over the same period.Continue ReadingShare Article:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, EmailFollow iClarified:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube
