Samsung races to qualify HBM4E chips for NVIDIA
Samsung is developing its next-generation HBM4E memory chips and aims to qualify them for supply to NVIDIA.
High-bandwidth memory is a key component in AI accelerators. NVIDIA's qualification is seen as the gold standard for memory makers targeting the AI data-centre market.
Samsung's push comes as competition in the HBM space heats up. Rival SK Hynix is targeting mass production of its next-generation HBM in 2027.
The HBM market has become one of the most valuable battlegrounds in semiconductors. AI demand has sent prices and orders soaring for the specialised chips.
Analysts say winning NVIDIA's approval would be a major boost for Samsung's chip business. The company has been working to close the gap with SK Hynix in the HBM race.
Qualification tests for new memory chips with a major buyer can take several months. Memory makers are racing to secure long-term supply deals with AI chip giants as data-centre demand grows.
