According to the report, Kissinger visited South Korea on May 20, 2023. Following talks with Samsung Semiconductor Director Qing Guixian and Internet Minister Kim Yujun last year, this meeting with Lu Taiwen, who is in charge of mobile and IT, is the second time that Kissinger has held talks with Samsung related people in five months. Samsung is Intel's main processor customer, and the two sides discussed possible cooperation in areas such as mobile during the talks. CTOnews.com has previously reported that products such as the Galaxy Book3 series, Samsung all-in-one and Samsung desktop are equipped with the 13th generation Intel Core Mobile processor.

People in the industry believe that Kissinger and the head of Samsung's semiconductor department, Qing Guixian, had already contacted before their meeting with the Japanese phase last week, and Kissinger's visit to South Korea may have discussed the possibility of semiconductor cooperation with Samsung. After two years and four delays, the most powerful Sapphire Rapids that supports DDR5 has finally been put into mass production. Analysts say Samsung's semiconductor storage business will benefit as servers are updated in the data center.
