Texas city will offer Samsung huge tax breaks to build a $17 billion chip plant

Published

Texas is one of the two areas in the region under consideration by Samsung Electronics (005930. KS) for the $17 billion chip plant to offer more property tax breaks if selected by a South Korean technology company.

According to the report, Taylor is competing with Austin, Texas to find the plant which is expected to create about 1,800 jobs. Samsung also said they are looking at other potential sites in Arizona and New York. Some potential sites have not yet disclosed the planned tax break.

The proposed decision posted on the city’s website indicates that on the land used by Samsung, it is expected to receive a grant equal to 92.5% of property tax assessed for 10 years, 90% for the next ten years, and 85% for 10 years thereafter.

The other measures include a 92.5% tax levy on a new building under ten years and the payment for development reviews. And the proposed decision will be considered Wednesday by the Taylor Council and the Williamson Commissioners.

The Taylor site is located about 25 miles (40 km) from Austin. Approximately 1,187.5 hectares (4.81 square kilometers) in size, much larger than the Austin site. Samsung last year bought more than 250 hectares of Austin, in addition to the 350 hectares of owners that included a single U.S. chip factory.

If Samsung decides on Taylor, it plans to break ground by the first quarter of next year with production due to start by the end-2024, a document previously filed with Texas state officials has said.

AI Frame Rate Conversion

The AI Frame Rate Conversion (AI FRC) technology begins by analyzing every two frames of the original video, extracting motion information to interpolate new frames that slow down the action.

This process is repeated in both forward and reverse directions to enhance the accuracy of newly created additional frames. The Fusion Map and Residual processes then work in pairs to detect motion differences and apply additional corrections for smoother motion and sharp details.

One UI 6.1 Battery last charge feature

Samsung has updated its Device Care app to version 13.8.6.11, which brings back the “since last charge” feature for its Galaxy smartphones. It was removed from Galaxy devices in the One UI 6 update. This function allows users to monitor their device’s battery performance and screen usage time since the last full charge.

According to the tipster Tarunvats, the return of the “since last charged” feature is due to user demand as it provides an accurate review of battery life. This feature is more informative than previous 24-hour tracking systems, which did not consider charging periods.
