Samsung Boosts Energy-Efficient AI Memory Supply by Accelerating HBM4 Production for Nvidia
Samsung starts manufacturing next-generation HBM4 chips for Nvidia, which improve energy efficiency and high-performance AI memory bandwidth.
According to South Korean media citing industry sources, Samsung Electronics will start manufacturing its next-generation HBM4 high-bandwidth memory chips for Nvidia in February, ahead of rivals.
Samsung has successfully completed qualification tests for its sixth-generation HBM4 with both Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices, according to the Korea Economic Daily. An early foray into sophisticated, energy-efficient AI memory is anticipated when shipments begin next month.
In the high-performance memory industry, Samsung has long aimed to overtake market leader SK Hynix. Its position in the quickly expanding AI accelerator market is now strengthened by the start of HBM4 manufacture.
HBM4 chips, which offer more data bandwidth and enhanced energy efficiency, are crucial for next-generation AI systems. After soaring earlier in the day to almost record levels, Samsung shares in Seoul were flat.
