Seoul, South Korea – Samsung Electronics reported a major advance in its supply of AI-centric chips on Thursday, aiming to reassure investors amid ongoing semiconductor market volatility. The tech giant revealed a 277% year-on-year surge in operating profit for the July-September period, reaching 9.18 trillion won ($6.65 billion), despite a 12% dip from Q2 primarily due to one-off costs, such as workforce incentives and the weaker U.S. dollar’s impact on the chip business.
