A foreign media report said SK hynix has appointed Ahn Hyun, its former head of development, to lead a newly created Americas organization.

According to a report by the Taiwanese tech outlet DigiTimes on the 11th (local time), SK hynix, the Korean memory chip company, has named Ahn Hyun, its former head of development, as the head of a newly established Americas organization.

The outlet cited the race over custom high bandwidth memory (HBM) as the backdrop to the appointment. It said the race is bringing memory suppliers closer to US chip design companies.

In its headline, the outlet described Ahn as an 'HBM veteran.' It also said the appointment picks someone to lead the US business as competition intensifies.
