Samsung Begins Shipments of HBM4 Products
By Kwanwoo Jun
Samsung Electronics has begun shipments of the most advanced high-bandwidth memory products, known as HBM4.
The South Korean technology giant said Thursday that it is the world's first to mass produce and ship the industry's highest-performance HBM4 products. The company is looking to dominate the HBM4 market after lagging behind its rivals in recent quarters.
Samsung didn't identify the clients buying its HBM4 products, which are a crucial component of artificial-intelligence chips.
The world's largest memory-chip maker counts SK Hynix and Micron Technology as its closest competitors and has been seeking to become a major HBM4 supplier for Nvidia.
SK Hynix has said it completed its development of HBM4 products and is preparing to ship the advanced chips. The home-country rival of Samsung has dominated the market for previous HBM versions.
The development comes as the global AI chip market continues to grow rapidly, forcing HBM suppliers to keep pace.
Samsung said it expects revenue from its HBM business to more than triple in 2026, and is preemptively expanding its HBM4 production.
It said it is also preparing to ship an upgraded HBM4 sample product, HBM4E, in the second half of the year.
