Amazon bets 9 trillion won on AI chips, complicating Samsung and Hynix calculus

Markets are watching whether the investment will affect customer orders and pricing power for the two Korean chipmakers. The short-term stock impact is neutral, while the long-term effect depends on the substitution effect of Amazon's in-house chips.
