SKD WIREPartly True
Reports have emerged that Samsung Electronics' semiconductor AX/PI Center, previously based at the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) in Suwon, is relocating to Dongtan. The claim rests on a single media report, and Samsung Electronics has not issued official confirmation, leaving the full scope of the move unclear.
According to the report, the AX/PI Center — a semiconductor organization focused on advanced packaging and interface technology — is leaving its current home at SAIT in Suwon and moving to Dongtan, where Samsung has been consolidating parts of its semiconductor research and development footprint. The relocation aligns with Samsung's broader shift of semiconductor R&D functions toward its Dongtan campus in Hwaseong.
While the headline frames the relocation as a move of the entire AX/PI Center, the underlying report describes only "some organizations" as relocating. This makes the headline an overstatement relative to the substance of the report. No official confirmation from Samsung Electronics is available, and the exact number of affected personnel or teams has not been disclosed.
The report is based on a single media account, with no corroborating announcement from the company. Samsung's semiconductor newsroom materials, including coverage of the "Samsung AI Forum 2026," indicate continued R&D activity across its campuses, but do not directly address the relocation claim.
The relocation of parts of Samsung's semiconductor AX/PI Center from Suwon SAIT to Dongtan is supported by a media report, but the headline overstates a move described as affecting only some organizations and lacks official confirmation from Samsung Electronics, making the claim Partly True.
