    Notice how the vehicle on the roads have very poor relative scaling with each other despite the terrain between not indicating a significant enough drop via slope or providing other visual cues like changes in tree size that would help someone looking at the image get a sense of distance that justifies the much smaller freight vehicle. That's almost as shoddy as the fake images of race cars and dragons that some companies use as simulated images for display panels.

    Nah that strip of grass between the lower right vehicle and the next one in is a couple of miles wide. I invite you to think about just how big that fab really is!

    Toyota plant in KY. Big for the time.

    The scale of vehicles alongside the Fab imply less than miles of distance because they are not miles-of-distance smaller than the two departing the Fab. The implication here is the photo editing work done simply doesn't account well for distances. I wonder if SK Hynix is using that image repeatedly as this isn't the first time I've seen it here on AT or if its just AT using the same one repeatedly to fill in the required image-in-article box at the top of a Pipeline story.

    The lower right vehicle is on an elevated highway from the looks of it. The side wall of the highway was cut away as leaving it there would essentially cover 1/4 of the image

    It’s just a reused photo, (also as someone else said, obviously an elevated highway) notice their statement that it’ll be the largest 3-story fab in the world. That photo is of a different building that’s 9 or 10 stories.

    The world is about to enter a period in which memory, specifically, high bandwidth memory is going to be in a never ending supply constraint. I think SK Hynix would see this and put money back into the project to accelerate the plants.

    A constraint on the arrival of the memory constraint could be an electricity constraint.

    Maybe a few million solar panels and a couple dozen nuclear plants need to be built before completing this gigantic facility.
