REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsSEOUL, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Sapeon, an artificial intelligence (AI) chip startup backed by South Korea's telecom-to-chip conglomerate SK Group, has launched its latest chip for data centres, the company said on Thursday, joining the global race to develop AI chips with bigger rivals like Nvidia (NVDA.O). The new Sapeon X330 chip "represents roughly twice the computational performance and 1.3 times better power efficiency" than competitors' products launched this year, the company said in a statement, without elaborating further on the competitors. Sapeon designs AI semiconductors for data centres, which require huge amounts of data processing. The X330 chip is manufactured by TSMC (2330.TW), the world's largest contract chipmaker, Sapeon said. SK Telecom (017670.KS), South Korea's top telco company, is Sapeon's parent.

SK Signet to launch EV chargers with Tesla's charging standard

June 15 (Reuters) - Electric-vehicle (EV) charger maker SK Signet (260870.KN) said on Thursday it was adding products compatible with the North American Charging Standard (NACS), after major U.S. automakers Ford (F.N) and GM (GM.N) said they were adopting Tesla's (TSLA.O) model of charging. Electric vehicle charging companies are cautiously embracing Tesla's charging technology as the main U.S. standard, as they are in danger of losing out on customers if they offer only the Combined Charging System (CCS). Earlier this week, EV charging equipment makers Blink Charging (BLNK.O), ChargePoint (CHPT.N) and Tritium (DCFC.O) said they will offer chargers with Tesla's connector. The White House aims to spur deployment of hundreds of thousands of chargers, which it sees as integral to EV adoption. SK Signet will continue to provide customers with the option of other widely used standards for EV charger connections, including the CCS, CHAdeMO and the Megawatt Charging System.

SEOUL, Dec 26 (Reuters) - South Korea's second-largest conglomerate SK Group (034730.KS) said on Monday it is considering selling some of its assets in Southeast Asia and reinvesting in other businesses in countries in the region, including Vietnam. An SK Group spokesperson said in a statement the conglomerate plans to decide which assets to potentially sell depending on buyers' offers, and is considering reinvesting some of the proceeds from any stake sales in local firms. The statement didn't disclose details of which assets might be sold. The comments came after South Korean newspaper the Korea Economic Daily reported SK's plans late on Sunday citing unnamed investment banking sources. Assets held by SK Group's Southeast Asia investment firm that could be sold, according to the paper, include stakes in Vietnam's Vingroup (VIC.HM), Masan Group (MSN.HM), retail pharmacy chain Pharmacity, retailer VinCommerce and consumer retail platform The Crown X.
SEOUL, Dec 6 (Reuters) - A South Korean court ordered the chairman of No. 2 conglomerate SK Group to transfer 66.5 billion won ($50.68 million) in a division of property, as part of a divorce ruling on Tuesday. It was not immediately clear if the transfer by Chairman Chey Tae-won would include stock in the group's holding company, SK Inc (034730.KS). Kim Hyeon-jung, a judge of the Seoul Family Court, said the estranged wife, Roh Soh-yeong, would also receive alimony of 100 million won. Chey holds 17.5% of SK Inc, the company's regulatory filings show, with a value of 2.7 trillion won at Monday's closing price.
