US EditionSamsung starts mass production of next-gen AI memory chip
Samsung started mass production of HBM4 chips with speeds exceeding older models by over 40%, targeting rising global AI data-centre demand.
- Samsung Electronics started mass production of HBM4 memory on Thursday and shipped commercial products, calling it an `industry-leading` breakthrough exceeding speed standards by over 40 percent.
- A global frenzy to build AI data centres sent orders for high-bandwidth memory soaring, and TrendForce forecasts more than $840 billion in memory revenue by 2027, with Samsung earmarking billions to expand production.
- Samsung and SK hynix raced to start HBM4 production, with Nvidia widely expected to be a major buyer amid tight demand, as the market accelerates competition.
- Markets reacted: Samsung's stock rose over six percent after the announcement, with Nvidia and other large tech firms pressured to secure limited high-bandwidth memory supplies.
- The South Korean government pledge and Samsung say HBM4 meets `escalating demands for higher performance`, supporting long-term chip industry growth.
