Samsung Electronics has raised prices for some advanced contract chipmaking services by up to 15% for new orders, two people familiar with the matter said, as demand for AI chips tightens capacity in a business long dominated by TSMC.

Those calls have intensified as SK Hynix and Samsung shares retreated after hitting record highs in June amid concerns about the durability of AI spending, though their stock prices remain far higher than earlier this year.
