The company is restructuring its Solidigm SSD subsidiary to create this new entity, which will focus initially on AI system optimization software before expanding into broader datacenter investments. This move comes as SK hynix rides a memory boom driven by AI demand, with 2025 revenue up 47% to $67.9 billion. The memory shortage is pushing prices up significantly, with DRAM expected to see 70% price hikes, while ASIC shipments for AI servers are forecast to triple by 2027. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
