Anthropic’s offhand mention of ‘logic chips’ has Korean media buzzing about a Samsung Foundry tie-up, even as MediaTek just dismissed a nearly identical rumor

Anthropic’s mention of Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron as key to chip supply sparked fresh speculation about a possible Samsung foundry tie-up.

South Korean media read the “logic chips” reference as a hint of a Samsung manufacturing deal, especially around advanced nodes like 2nm.

The article says that interpretation is unconfirmed and cautions against overreading a brief wording choice.

It also notes MediaTek recently denied a similar Samsung foundry rumor, underscoring how quickly AI chip supply-chain speculation spreads.
