Samsung responds again to Nvidia's HBM3E chip report: Testing is progressing "as planned"
Samsung responds to Nvidia's HBM3E chip report, stating that testing is proceeding "as planned." HBM is a key component of AI GPUs, helping to process large amounts of data. The HBM3E chip uses the fifth generation HBM standard. The global HBM chip market is dominated by SK Hynix and Samsung. Nvidia is evaluating Samsung's HBM chips to determine if they can compete with SK Hynix
According to the Zhitong Finance and Economics APP, Samsung (SSNLF.US) has responded again to media reports testing its High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) chips for Nvidia (NVDA.US), stating that the testing is proceeding "as planned."
A spokesperson for Samsung stated via email, "Samsung Electronics is optimizing our products through close collaboration with customers and conducting tests as planned."
Last week, reports indicated that Nvidia had approved Samsung's 8-layer HBM3E chips for its artificial intelligence processors. However, Samsung responded later, stating that this was far from the truth, "We cannot confirm rumors related to our customers, but this report is not true."
HBM is a type of Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DRAM) standard that vertically stacks chips to save space and reduce energy consumption. It is a key component of artificial intelligence GPUs, helping to process large amounts of data generated by complex applications. HBM3 is the most commonly used fourth-generation HBM technology standard in the current new generation of artificial intelligence GPUs, while HBM3E chips use the fifth-generation HBM standard. The global HBM chip market is dominated by SK Hynix and Samsung, followed by US chip manufacturer Micron Technology (MU.US).
Last month, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated that the company is evaluating Micron and Samsung's HBM chips to determine if they can compete with SK Hynix
