Samsung expands memory testing operations with a reported $4.08 billion Vietnam project

Samsung Electronics is undertaking a $4.08 billion project in Vietnam to expand memory testing beyond South Korea, according to DigiTimes. The report describes the investment as a new back-end and export location amid tight DRAM and NAND supply. The supplied source does not specify a construction schedule, site capacity, product mix or how much testing volume the facility will add, so the project's near-term effect on memory availability is not yet clear.
